Organic linalool thyme - Essential oil

Thyme comes in 6 chemotypes: what's the difference?

In practical terms, this means that their essences will not have the same chemical composition, and therefore their benefits and uses may differ. At Lacontal, we offer linalool chemotyped thyme – also known as linaloliferum. Linalool is thus the predominant natural molecule.

Elsewhere, you may encounter thymes with chemotypes 'thymol', 'thujanol', 'cavacrol', 'geraniol', 'borneol' which will have different properties and precautions for use.

The chosen packaging preserves the quality of the essential oil and facilitates its use.

The bottles are opaque to protect the essential oil from light. Glass is preferred for small containers, while aluminum and HDPE are used for larger ones to prevent breakage.

Bottles equipped with a dropper allow for universal use. The spray and roll-on applicator, also sold individually, fit bottles from 5 to 100 ml.

Small containers are easy to take with us on the go. Larger containers are also useful for refilling smaller ones or taking advantage of bulk buying.

From the very beginning, we chose to cultivate our lavender naturally, without any pesticides. Our essential oils are certified organic (AB). Distillation, carried out on-site at the farm, is essential: we adapt as closely as possible to the weather conditions and the ripeness of the lavender to guarantee optimal quality.

Chromatographic analysis measures the content of constituents naturally present in the essential oil (Linalool, Lynalyl acetate...).

We know the exact quality of our essential oil for each vintage. These analyses are carried out and guaranteed by a specialized laboratory.
