This essential oil is amazing in terms of its price and wonderful smell. However, I cannot use it since it severely accelerates trace in cold process soap. It will harden the soap immediately, so beware. Otherwise, it's excellent to use in other products, in my opinion.
thyme is a really interesting oil and i know a bunch of people who swear by it, some us it as there sole disinfectant additive and others use it in moutwash.. in general thyme is anti-septic and anti-bacterial..
Very god
I have purchased Thyme Oil, Tea Tree Oil and a glass dropper bottle. All were of excellent quality, and very low cost. Shipping was very fast.
This essential oil smells fantastic! I cannot wait to use it when I make "Brown Windsor Soap". WF Med consistantly offers THE best prices on essential oils anywhere - and the quality is fantastic. Thank you!
