Benchmark Thyme is a unique blend of ethically grown thyme cultivars, carefully chosen to provide the most effective composition of anti-bacterial aroma-chemicals, whilst being gentle on the skin. Thyme grows prolifically across Europe and other parts of the world and the distilled oil (the essential oil) is used in a variety of commercial products. Thyme oil has many properties in common with Tea Tree and has shown success as an effective antibiotic against mrsa bacteria.
