Thyme Extract
A Swiss Alpine botanical rich in antioxidant
compounds that helps defend against environmental oxidative stress while
supporting healthy-looking, resilient skin.
Why This Ingredient Matters
Skin is exposed every day to environmental stressors that can contribute to oxidative stress and leave the complexion looking dull, dry, and fatigued. Thyme contains naturally occurring antioxidant compounds that help support skin's defenses against these everyday environmental challenges.
At Luzern, Thyme is used together with Butterfly Bush as part of our Swiss Alpine Environmental Defense Complex, combining complementary botanicals to help protect against environmental oxidative stress while supporting hydration and a fresh, healthy-looking complexion.
Why Formulation Matters
Antioxidant protection works best as part of a broader formulation strategy rather than relying on a single ingredient.
Luzern pairs Thyme with Butterfly Bush in our Swiss Alpine Environmental Defense Complex, then incorporates the complex into formulas alongside complementary antioxidants, hydrators, barrier-supporting ingredients, and other targeted actives.
It's an example of our belief that Formulation Changes Everything—the benefit comes not simply from choosing a good botanical, but from how ingredients are selected, combined, and incorporated into the finished formula.
How Luzern Uses It
Luzern uses Thyme primarily as part of our Swiss Alpine Environmental Defense Complex, where it is paired with Butterfly Bush to provide complementary antioxidant and environmental-defense support.
The complex is incorporated across a wide range of Luzern formulations—from daily
moisturizers and serums to eye care, treatment masques, body care, and mineral sunscreen—allowing its role to complement the specific purpose of each formula.
