For adults, thyme on the skin is generally safe. Most people won’t have problems, though a few with sensitive skin may get mild irritation or an allergic reaction.
If you want to try a new product with thyme, do a small patch test on your inner forearm and wait 24 hours. Avoid putting thyme-based products on broken skin, near the eyes, or on irritated areas. Stop using it if you get redness, itching, or swelling. Choose products from reputable brands and follow the product instructions.
Watch for signs of an allergic reaction (redness, itching, swelling, rash). Also note that a consumer product safety listing flags a use restriction for certain certified products, so some brands may avoid this ingredient or require extra documentation to include it — that is a manufacturing/labeling note rather than a general safety alarm. If you have very sensitive skin or known plant allergies, take extra care or check with a healthcare provider.
