Thyme Extract H.GL.-M.S. is an extract in a medium of Glycerin / Water (50:50) from the leaves and flowers of "Thymus vulgaris L.". External uses of thyme include preparations to wash skin wounds or infections. Thymol is extensively used in the cosmetic industry to prepare mouth wash and tooth paste. Thyme essence – especially the phenolic components thymol and carvacol – show antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, mainly due to their effects on the bacterial membrane.

Thyme antimicrobial activity is of great use to formulate cosmetic products aimed at the regulation of sebum hypersecretion and treatment of related disorders. Anti-inflammatory action has been reported for the phenol compounds in thyme extracts. The thymol and carvacol, present in thyme essence, as well as the flavonoids and other polyphenols are considered to be involved in the antioxidant activity. Thyme Extract is recommended to formulate cosmetic products aimed at the protection of skin and hair integrity against oxidative processes and cosmetic products with anti-irritant activity. Paraben free.
