Oregano 60% Essential Oil – An Overview

The oregano 60% essential oil manufacturers derive a pale yellow thin oil by steam distillation from the rich harvests of the oregano plant leaves and buds. The oil contains carvacrol compounds up to 80%) that are responsible for its properties, fragrance, and bitter taste. 

Climate, season and soil composition, and the intensity of heat and drying duration during the processing affect the quality of oregano harvest by changing the distribution of the major constituents and their proportion in the oil. Pure oregano oil has a bitter enough taste to numb the tongue. To overcome this difficulty, the Essential Oil manufacturers collect oregano leaves harvested at the beginning of the season and dry them without much heat. They extract oil from them and provide a mild variant that contains carvacrol content of up to 60% and not more than that. The users can include it in any product with ease as the oil contains safer p-cymene, caryophyllene, spathulenol, etc. compounds.

Oregano essential oil (60%) retains the antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, stimulant, and expectorant properties of the original oregano essential oil. It has a pleasant, herbaceous smell - different from the sharp, peppery aroma of oregano oil.
