Applications and Areas of Use in Cosmetics:

Thyme Glycolic Extract's dual-action properties make it a versatile and effective ingredient for various cosmetic applications:

• Facial Cleansers and Toners: Its cleansing and mild exfoliating action helps to remove impurities, excess oil, and dead skin cells, leaving the skin feeling fresh, clean, and balanced. It can be incorporated into foaming cleansers, gels, and clarifying toners.
• Acne Treatment Products: The antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties of thyme, combined with the pore-clearing effect of glycolic acid, make this extract beneficial for formulations targeting acne-prone and oily skin. It can be found in spot treatments, serums, and masks.
• Exfoliating Serums and Peels: At appropriate concentrations, the glycolic acid content gently exfoliates the skin's surface, promoting cell turnover, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation, leading to a smoother and brighter complexion.
• Masks and Facial Treatments: Incorporated into clay masks, sheet masks, and rinse-off treatments, it can help to purify pores, control sebum production, and improve skin texture.
• Body Washes and Scrubs: The cleansing and exfoliating properties extend to body care, helping to remove dead skin cells, improve skin smoothness, and address issues like body acne.
• Scalp Treatments: The antimicrobial and stimulating properties of thyme can benefit scalp health, helping to cleanse the scalp, reduce dandruff, and promote a healthy environment for hair growth. It can be added to shampoos, scalp serums, and hair masks.
• Foot Care Products: Its antimicrobial and exfoliating actions can be beneficial in foot scrubs and treatments to address rough skin and odor-causing bacteria.

Cosmetic Recipe: Purifying Thyme & Green Clay Facial Mask

Instructions:

1. In a clean, non-metallic bowl, combine the green clay and thyme glycolic extract. Mix well to form a thick paste.
2. Gradually add the witch hazel hydrosol, stirring continuously until a smooth, spreadable consistency is achieved.
3. Add the glycerin and tea tree essential oil. Mix thoroughly.
4. Apply an even layer of the mask to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye and lip areas.
5. Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes, or until it begins to dry. Do not allow the mask to dry completely and crack.
6. Rinse off the mask thoroughly with lukewarm water.
7. Follow with your regular toner and moisturizer.

Application Recommendations:

• Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before first use to check for any potential sensitivity.
• The recommended usage level of Thyme Glycolic Extract in cosmetic formulations typically ranges from 1% to 20%, depending on the desired exfoliating effect and the type of product. Start with a lower concentration and adjust as needed.
• Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
• Due to the presence of glycolic acid, it is recommended to advise users to use sunscreen during the day when using products containing this extract, as it may increase sun sensitivity.
• For sensitive skin, begin with less frequent applications (e.g., once or twice a week) and gradually increase as tolerated.
• Ensure thorough mixing of the extract into the formulation for even distribution of its active components.
• Store the Thyme Glycolic Extract in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat.
• Consider the pH of your final formulation, as the effectiveness of glycolic acid is pH-dependent.
• This extract is water-soluble and should be incorporated into the water phase of your formulations.
