Oregano
Powerful natural antibacterial, broad-spectrum antimicrobial, potent antioxidant, digestive stimulant, immune system support, natural antibiotic alternative for livestock and poultry feed, respiratory decongestant
Oregano oil is steam-distilled from the flowering tops and leaves of Origanum vulgare, a hardy perennial herb native to the Mediterranean. Our oregano oil is characterized by a high carvacrol content (minimum 60%), the primary phenolic compound responsible for its renowned antimicrobial activity. The oil is produced from carefully selected oregano grown under Good Agricultural Practice (GAP), harvested at full bloom when carvacrol levels peak, and immediately distilled to preserve the full spectrum of bioactive constituents. Fresure supplies oregano oil in bulk quantities with batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) verifying carvacrol percentage, p-cymene ratio, and physical parameters — essential documentation for formulators in the animal feed, natural preservative, and pharmaceutical sectors.

Carvacrol (55-85%), thymol (2-15%), p-cymene, gamma-terpinene, beta-caryophyllene, linalool, alpha-pinene, myrcene
A leading natural antibiotic alternative in poultry, swine, and ruminant feed. Carvacrol-rich oregano oil improves gut health, inhibits pathogenic bacteria (E. coli, Salmonella, Clostridium), enhances feed conversion ratio, and reduces reliance on AGPs (antibiotic growth promoters). Used in premixes, drinking water additives, and feed formulations.
Broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, fungi (Candida albicans), and certain viruses. Used in natural cold and flu remedies, respiratory support formulations, enteric-coated capsules for intestinal health, and oral care products. Carvacrol and thymol are the primary bioactive markers.
Powerful natural antioxidant and antimicrobial for food preservation. Used at very low inclusion rates (0.01-0.1%) in meat products, sauces, dressings, and processed foods to extend shelf life and inhibit lipid oxidation. Its strong spicy-herbaceous character also serves as a flavoring agent in savory applications.
Antimicrobial and antioxidant properties make it suitable for natural preservative systems in cosmetics. Used in anti-acne formulations, foot care products (antifungal), deodorizing soaps, and scalp treatments. Typically used at low concentrations (0.1-0.5%) due to potency. The phenolic-rich profile provides powerful free radical scavenging activity.
Diffused for respiratory support, congestion relief, and air purification. Its strong, warming, herbaceous aroma is used in therapeutic blends for immune support during cold and flu season. Often blended with lemon, eucalyptus, and rosemary for a powerful immune-boosting diffusion blend. A potent oil recommended for use at low dilution (1-3%).
Natural antimicrobial component in eco-friendly cleaning products, surface disinfectants, mold remediation sprays, and laundry sanitizers. The high phenolic content provides effective broad-spectrum antimicrobial action against common household pathogens. Synergistic when combined with thymol, tea tree, and citrus oils.

Custom packaging and private labeling available upon request.
Store in tightly sealed, full containers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Carvacrol-rich oils oxidize over time; minimize headspace to preserve phenolic content. Shelf life: 2-3 years under recommended conditions. Monitor carvacrol percentage and specific gravity at 6-month intervals for quality assurance.
Under recommended storage conditions — tightly sealed in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight — Oregano Oil remains stable for 2 to 3 years. Monitor for any changes in aroma, color, or viscosity before use in production batches.
Oregano Oil is steam distillation from the flowering tops and leaves of a plant in the Lamiaceae family. This method preserves the full spectrum of volatile aromatic compounds and bioactive constituents that define the oil''s therapeutic and sensory profile.
Every shipment includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing the batch-specific chemical profile (GC/MS or GC-FID), physical parameters (specific gravity, refractive index, optical rotation), and organoleptic assessment. Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS/SDS) is also provided. Additional documentation — including GC/MS chromatograms, pesticide residue analysis, heavy metal testing, and allergen statements — is available upon request.
