Pine Essential Oil
Pine essential oil is a fresh, woody-scented ingredient distilled from the needles and twigs of pine trees. In UK skincare and haircare it is valued for its cleansing and invigorating properties, often used in cleansers, toners, bath products and scalp treatments to refresh and purify.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics pine essential oil works as a natural astringent and antiseptic, helping to balance oil production while imparting a clean, forest-fresh aroma. Its lightweight volatile compounds evaporate quickly, making it ideal for use in facial steam blends, clarifying toners and scalp serums where it supports a healthy-looking scalp and hair without leaving residue.
