BENEFIT

Natural

The herbaceous, medicinal and sweet scent of thyme absolute refreshes and clears the mind. A common kitchen herb, thyme actually has a great history of use as an antiseptic, disinfectant and air purifier.

Thyme is a small, evergreen herb from the mint family (Lamiaceae) that grows low to the ground. In addition to its small fragrant leaves, it bears tiny flowers very popular with bees.

The plant contains aromatic compounds like thymol and carvacrol, known for their clarifying and antioxidant properties. These natural components help deeply cleanse the skin and maintain its natural balance by washing away impurities and unwanted microorganisms. This is why thyme derivatives are widely used in refreshing and purifying products such as soaps, deodorants, foot creams, toothpaste, and clarifying skincare treatments for blemish-prone skin.

Thyme oil and absolute offer an invigorating sensation. They help tone the skin and scalp, supporting the appearance of healthy-looking hair. When enjoyed in a warm bath, they provide a deeply relaxing and comforting experience for tired muscles.

Lush purchases thyme absolute from a French producer. The aroma can change slightly depending on the harvest season, especially its sweet notes, which can become as deep as the scent of treacle.
