Sweet Thyme (Linalool ct.) Essential Oil
Thymus vulgaris | Plant | Steam Distilled | Origin: Spain

Sweet Thyme (Linalool ct.) Essential Oil is a mild and versatile variety of Thymus vulgaris, cultivated at higher altitudes in Spain. This linalool chemotype is the gentlest of all thyme oils, containing lower thymol levels and making it ideal for sensitive skin and more delicate applications. Its warm, herbal scent carries subtle floral undertones that bring both comfort and clarity.

Historically, thyme has been valued since ancient Greece and Rome for its cleansing, protective, and fortifying qualities. The Linalool chemotype offers those same purifying and immune supportive properties but in a soothing form that is especially appreciated in modern aromatherapy. It’s often used to ease muscular tension, support respiratory health, and promote calm focus during times of nervous stress or overexertion.

Sweet Thyme also makes a useful addition to massage or chest blends for its gentle antiseptic and warming qualities, helping to relax muscles while supporting the body’s natural defences. Its balanced nature makes it suitable for daily use in blends, diffusion, or mild skincare preparations.
