Thyme Leaf Organic

Botanical Extract

Botanical Name: Thymus Vulgaris.

Standardization: 4:1 Extract.

Description: The word Thyme is derived from the Greek word 'thymos' that means 'perfume'. The plant is an evergreen perennial shrub that has fragrant leaves and is widely used in culinary practices. 

Common Uses: This extract has strong cleansing properties owing to its essential oils, tannins and organic acids. It has astringent properties and is believed to help reduce the appearance of inflamed skin. Thyme Extract can be used in topical applications to help reduce the excessive oiliness on the skin, and is suitable for use on acne-prone skin. It can also be used to make tinctures and in the manufacturing of skin and hair care products.

How To Use: The suggested usage rate is 0.5 - 2% by weight of the product. 

How To Incorporate Extracts In Formulations: 

Most extracts should be added to the cool down phase of the formulation. 

•      For shampoos, creams, and other thick products: Mix 5-10 ml of hot water (45 ̊C – 50 ̊C; the temperature of the cool down phase) into the powdered extract until it dissolves. Combine this mixture thoroughly into the product. 

•      For mists, toners, and other products that are almost entirely water: There is no need to dissolve the extract before adding it to the product. 

Tincture Instructions: Botanical extracts are most easily added to formulations by first dissolving the extract in a suitable solvent such as alcohol (vodka or another grain alcohol with less scent), water, glycerin or mixture of solvent (water : alcohol or water : glycerin) and adding this tincture to your product. Not all extracts are completely soluble, so you may see some residue after it has been blended and if necessary, this can be removed using a filter. Once the botanical extract moistened with the solvent, it can be used right away. 

Normally, a 100 ml tincture should be equivalent to 20 g of the raw plant. Thyme has an extract ratio of 4:1 meaning 4 kg of Thyme is used to produce 1 kg of extract. Since you want the 100 ml tincture to contain 20g of the raw plant, you should add 5 g of extract to 100 ml of suitable solvent. Remember that with the tincture once they are moistened, they must be used right away unless a proper preservative is used.

Solubility: Soluble in water.
