Savory Summer oil

Whatsapp Order

Savory Summer Oil is an essential oil steam-distilled from the flowering tops of Satureja hortensis, commonly known as Summer Savory. Native to Southern Europe and the Mediterranean region, this aromatic herb yields a highly pungent, spicy, and herbaceous oil rich in carvacrol, thymol, and p-cymene. Known for its strong antimicrobial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties, Savory Summer Oil has long been used in traditional herbal medicine to support immune health, digestion, and topical wound care.
Today, the oil is utilized in cosmetics, aromatherapy, wellness formulations, and as a potent active in natural cleaning products. Due to its intense composition, it is generally used in low dilutions and often blended with softer oils to balance its intensity. Its sharp, spicy-herbaceous aroma is particularly favored in male grooming products, energizing blends, and natural disinfectants.
