Pine Essential Oil (Pinus sylvestris)
Pine Essential Oil (Pinus sylvestris) is steam distilled from the needles of the tree, producing a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a powerful, green, fresh, forest-evergreen aroma carrying a dry-balsamic undertone. It's a crisp, invigorating oil widely used to bring the clean scent of the forest indoors.
In aromatherapy, Pine is popular for creating a fresh, energising atmosphere and is a favourite in diffusers, room sprays and vapor therapy blends, particularly during the colder months.
In massage and body care, Pine's warming, stimulating character makes it a popular addition to massage oils and bath blends for tired muscles after an active day.
This one deserves a little extra care: Pine Essential Oil may be fatal if swallowed and enters the airways, is flammable, and may cause an allergic skin reaction. Always dilute well before topical use, patch test first, and never ingest. Aged or oxidised Pine oil carries an increased skin-sensitisation risk compared to fresh oil, so use well within the shelf life and keep the bottle tightly closed.
