Wild oregano oil (Origanum vulgare) — 80%+ carvacrol
Our oregano grows wild on Mediterranean hillsides rather than being farmed for volume, which is traditionally associated with a richer essential-oil profile. The harvested plant is steam-distilled — a gentle method that lifts the aromatic oil without harsh solvents — and standardized so every batch carries 80%+ carvacrol.
Carvacrol is the primary active compound naturally present in oregano oil and the reason the herb has been valued for centuries. It is also recognized for its natural antioxidant properties, which is why potency — the carvacrol percentage — is the single most useful number on any oregano oil label.
