Thyme Linalol Essential Oil Certified Organic

All the antibacterial power of Thyme, with none of the aggression. Thyme Linalol is the gentle chemotype, and the one to reach for when effectiveness and skin compatibility both matter.

Valley of the Moon's Thyme Linalol is a certified organic essential oil steam distilled from the flowering tops of Thymus vulgaris linalol, sourced from France. A top to middle note, it shares the strong antiseptic, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties of other Thyme chemotypes while being significantly milder on the skin. Where Thyme Red is the most aggressive Thyme, Linalol is the most versatile, safe enough for soaps, shampoos, cosmetics, and long-term massage applications, yet still highly effective against bacteria, germs, fungi, and chronic infections including Candida albicans and Staphylococcus.
