Hi! I'm Serena, founder and CEO
It is no secret that there is a growing concern among people all around the world about the harmful impacts of harsh chemical cleaners on the environment and human health. We are a small, family brand based in Santa Barbara, California on a mission to bring you ThymePlus+, a unique cleaning product made from all-natural, food-grade ingredients that is not only safe but also effective in getting rid of germs and dirt. Unlike other cleaning products that smell harsh and unpleasant, Thyme Plus+ has a natural and refreshing scent that comes from the oils used in its production. We use steam-distilled essential oils, most of which are sourced from a friend's 30-year-old sustainable and organic farm in Todos Santos, Baja California. The oils are made from herbs that would normally go to waste because they didn't make it to sale on the market, instead of throwing this biomass away, the herbs are steam distilled into powerful essential oils. We have invested in state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment and expanded our team of experts to ensure that every bottle of Thyme Plus+ meets the highest standards of quality. Thyme Plus+ cleaning products contain 0.07% Thymol, which is an EPA- recognized and approved effective antibacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-mold agent. We have completed our own MIC (minimum inhibitory study) at an independent lab to prove efficacy. The link to this study is on our website under the Science/Nanotechnology tab. Thank you so much for your interest in Thyme Plus+.
Mission:
Thyme Plus+ was created because we saw a demand in the market for safe, non-toxic plant-based cleaning solutions. Thyme Plus+ merges Mother Nature's plant power with Nanotechnology, which is a cutting-edge technology to deliver sensitive yet highly bioactive molecules. We combined techniques big pharma uses applied to garden extracts. We use nanotechnology to break down the oil particles to a small enough size that they are miscible in water and don't separate (float to the top). The oil stays in perfect suspension in the the water so no separation occurs.
Active ingredients:
The active ingredient in our products, Thymol, a natural oxygenated monoterpenoid found in oil of Thyme has been used for its therapeutic and disinfectant properties for thousands of years. Thymol is known to have antibacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-yeast and anti-mold properties.
We have completed our own MIC (minimum inhibitory study) at an independent lab to prove efficacy. The link to this study is on our website under the Science/Nanotechnology tab at the top of this page.

Thyme Plus+ cleaning products contain 0.07% Thymol, which is an EPA- recognized and approved effective antibacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-mold agent. The EPA classifies Thymol (at the levels used in our products) to have a low toxicity rating and it is not aware of any adverse effects to humans or the environment when used as directed on the packaging label. Every batch of herbal extracted products may vary seasonally and per crop. We lab test our products for purity and active Thymol concentration, so each batch is standardized with an effective formulation of Thymol. Have peace of mind that every bottle has the right amount of Thymol inside.
We are aiming for sustainability:
We primarily ship our products as concentrates which not only increases their shelf life, but also is more environmentally friendly. We are lowering our carbon footprint by avoiding shipping unnecessary water weight and large plastic bottles which add to our landfills and pollute our oceans. Use our product with our refillable Thyme Plus+ glass spray bottle or up-cycle a favorite spray bottle of choice.
