Benefect develops plant-based disinfection technology that relies on thyme oil as its active ingredient. Its products are designed to be less toxic than conventional disinfectants, with safety considerations for children, pets, chemically sensitive individuals, and the elderly, along with environmental sustainability. The technology blends essential oils from thyme to deliver antimicrobial effects without traditional synthetic chemicals. Benefect claims the formulation can kill over 99.99% of bacteria and meets or exceeds the EPA's efficacy requirements for broad-spectrum hospital disinfectants. The company is based in Hamilton, Ontario. In 2022, Sami Rahman was appointed Chief Commercial Officer, reflecting leadership changes within the organization.
