Oregano Essential Oil

Oregano Essential Oil is steam distilled from the leaves of Origanum Vulgare (origanum vulgare oil), sourced from the Mediterranean climates of Turkey and Albania. Recognized for its strong, earthy, and herbaceous aroma, this oregano oil is a staple in both traditional formulations and modern industrial applications due to its bold aromatic presence and compatibility with savory flavors and fresh scents.

Its intensity makes it particularly valuable in low-percentage applications across personal care, household, and food industries. Manufacturers use it not only for scent but also for flavor improvement and preservation. The oregano oil pairs well with thyme, rosemary, and citrus components in complex fragrance and flavor profiles.

Available in HBNO Bulk quantities for commercial-scale production and suitable for custom formulation through our Private Label services.
