Product Description
What Is Pine Oil?
Pine oil, a natural essential oil, is derived from the needles, twigs, and cones of Pinus sylvestris. Known for its refreshing, woody fragrance, Pine Oil has various uses in cleaning products, personal care, and aromatherapy due to its antiseptic, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. It also acts as a natural air freshener and flavoring agent for food.
Preparation Method:
Pine oil is primarily obtained through steam distillation. By using steam to pass over crushed pine needles or twigs, the essential oil is forced to evaporate. The oil is subsequently extracted from the water by condensing the steam and oil vapor. After distillation, the oil undergoes purification to remove impurities, resulting in a high-quality product with concentrated fragrance and therapeutic benefits.
