Thyme essential oil has antimicrobial properties that may help maintain a clean, healthy scalp and support hair care for dandruff-prone scalps. For the skin, its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties may help protect the skin and support the care of blemish-prone areas. Its herbal, warm, slightly spicy aroma makes it an excellent addition to homemade candles... Always dilute properly before applying to hair or skin.
