Thymus Vulgaris Oil Worst Fragrance Synthetic and Natural No known benefits Thymus Vulgaris Oil description Thymus vulgaris oil is more commonly known as thyme oil. Like most fragrant plant oils, thyme is a source of potent antioxidants but its fragrant components (which are part of the oil itself) pose a risk of sensitivity. For this reason, products with thyme extract are a safer bet in terms of getting the “good” antioxidants from thyme without the volatile fragrance components that, while also being antioxidants, also kick in sensitivity.
