Thyme Hydrosol
Obtained from Thymus vulgaris, one of the Mediterranean's distinctive aromatic plants, Thyme Hydrosol is the pure water phase of the precious flower and leaf essences released during the distillation of the plant's essential oil. Known for its gray-green leaves and pale pink flowers, thyme has been a highly valued herb in food, medicinal practices, and natural care for centuries.
This perennial aromatic shrub, belonging to the Lamiaceae family, is known for its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Therefore, Thyme Hydrosol is preferred in many areas, from skin care and environmental cleansing to natural protection and tonic effects.
Thyme, a symbol of courage, vitality, and purification throughout history, has held an important place in various cultures, from ancient Greece to medieval Europe. The ancient Greeks burned it as incense in their temples, and the Romans used it to freshen spaces and flavor food. In the Middle Ages, thyme was believed to ward off bad dreams and give strength to the wearer.
With this powerful history combined with natural bioactive ingredients, Thyme Hydrosol continues to stand out today for its purifying, revitalizing, and supportive effects.
