Artisan-distilled Thyme Linalool Hydrosol is a highly prized natural hydrosol meticulously extracted from the delicate flower tops of the fragrant Thymus vulgaris plant. Grown and cultivated in France under rigorous organic standards, this hydrosol embodies purity and quality. Known for its powerful antiseptic, antiviral, and antifungal properties, it serves as a natural remedy for a wide range of skin conditions, including stubborn infections, stubborn acne, and irritating insect bites. Its antimicrobial prowess makes it an excellent choice for thorough wound cleaning and disinfection, supporting skin recovery. Rich in a diverse array of plant-based compounds, this hydrosol not only fosters overall skin health but also enhances hygiene practices. Its pure, gentle formulation ensures it is safe for sensitive skin, making it an ideal addition to your skincare routine as a nourishing toner, disinfectant, or skin soother, all while embracing the natural essence of the thyme plant. Suzanne Catty writes "It's antiinfectious and healing properties make it a specific for bedsores, and it is gentle enough for even the very ill."
For normal to oily skin types Thyme linalool hydrosol has a pH close to skin so is recommended for facial application; consider blending with
Neroli and
Cistus hydrosols to compress large pores.
Suzanne explains that within the gentlest varieties of Thyme chemotypes, the linalool chemotype stands out as particularly safe for infants and children. She notes that if a diaper rash does not improve with chamomile or lavender, this specific Thyme chemotype can be safely incorporated into bathwater as an effective alternative, providing additional options for gentle skin care.
