  • Product Details

    Like all our products, our oregano essential oil’s journey from field to final product is fully traceable. Grown in our own Bulgarian fields, the Origanum vulgare plant undergoes steam distillation at our distillery to extract its beneficial compounds from the leaves and shoots. After distillation, the oil undergoes rigorous testing in our laboratory, followed by professional packaging in our specialized facility.

    For those in the aromatherapy or medical industries, the ability to trace the entire lifecycle of our oregano essential oil—rich in carvacrol, thymol, and rosmarinic acid—provides added assurance of its quality and integrity.

  • Oil Description

    Oregano essential oil is a potent extract derived from the Origanum vulgare plant, primarily through the method of steam distillation. This oil is recognized for its robust, herbaceous aroma that is both sharp and slightly medicinal, making it a favorite in aromatherapeutic applications for its invigorating and purifying qualities.

    Chemically, oregano oil is rich in phenolic compounds such as carvacrol and thymol, which are credited with its strong antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties. These compounds make oregano oil a valuable asset in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, where it is utilized for its ability to bolster the immune system, relieve respiratory conditions, and combat microbial infections.

    Additionally, rosmarinic acid contributes to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, enhancing its use in skincare products to soothe irritations and protect against environmental damage. The oil’s versatility and efficacy make it an essential component in a wide range of health, wellness, and cosmetic products, aligning it with the needs of professionals seeking high-quality, therapeutic-grade essential oils.

  • Uses

    Oregano essential oil is highly valued across various industries for its potent bioactive properties. In the food industry, it serves as a natural preservative and flavor enhancer, due to its robust, earthy flavor profile and its ability to inhibit bacterial growth, which extends the shelf life of food products.

    The pharmaceutical sector leverages oregano oil for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, incorporating it into formulations designed to treat infections and support immune health.

    Additionally, in the cosmetics industry, oregano oil is utilized for its antioxidant properties, which help to protect the skin from free radicals and environmental stressors, as well as for its effectiveness in acne treatments due to its antibacterial qualities.
