Description
Steam-distilled from the dried leaves of the Thymus Capitatus herb, Origanum Oil is wild grown throughout much of the Middle East, Asia, and Spain. The oil’s aroma is spicy, herbaceous, and powerful, with a unique medicinal top note that remains popular in European soaps and cosmetics. The main chemical constituent of origanum oil is carvacrol, which imparts a pungent “oregano” odor popular in herbal perfume blends. When combined with ingredients such as lavandin, oakmoss, and natural linalool, origanum oil provides a powerful and complex base for soap perfumes and detergents.

Oregano oil supply remains tight following a short crop. Turkish material continues to command higher prices, while Hungarian origin has softened slightly. Demand from the spice market has absorbed much of the available supply, and limited carryover is expected ahead of the next harvest.
