APA proudly introduce new essential oil - BENCHMARK THYME to Hong Kong and Macau

Effective in fighting MRSA

Benchmark Thyme is a unique blend of ethically grown Thyme cultivars to provide the most effective composition of anti-bacterial aroma-chemicals, while being gentle on the skin. A number of researches have shown that Benchmark Thyme exhibited the strongest bactericidal effect (killing various strains of Staphylococcus aureus including MRSA) in comparison with other Thyme chemotypes and Tea tree oils.

Throughout history, the herb of Thyme has been known to be a reliable antiseptic. But Common Thyme (Thyme vulgaris) can be harsh on the skin. With its unique combination of four Thyme cultivars, Benchmark offers the best of both worlds: strongly bactericidal, and yet skin-friendly.

Benchmark Thyme will also be reliable (i.e. of “industry standard”) because its aroma chemistry will remain the same, year after year.
