Thyme Oil

Thyme Oil – Steam-Distilled Essential Oil for Food, Cosmetic, and Pharmaceutical Use

Product Overview

Thyme Oil is an aromatic essential oil steam-distilled from the flowering tops and leaves of Thymus vulgaris. It is naturally rich in thymol, carvacrol, and p-cymene, compounds known for their strong antimicrobial, antioxidant, and purifying properties. With its warm, herbaceous aroma, Thyme Oil is widely used in food preservation, flavoring, natural cosmetics, and pharmaceutical formulations.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply Pure Steam-Distilled Thyme Essential Oil produced under ISO 22000 Food Safety Management and EU purity standards. Our oil is sourced from the aromatic thyme fields of Turkey and the Mediterranean region, ensuring optimal chemical composition and traceability. It is suitable for food-grade, cosmetic-grade, and pharmaceutical-grade applications where purity and consistency are critical.
