WHAT IS PINE NEEDLE Essential Oil?

Pine oil comes from pine trees. It’s a natural oil that is not to be confused with pine nut oil, which comes from the pine kernel. Pine nut oil is considered a vegetable oil and is primarily used for cooking. Pine needle essential oil, on the other hand, is an almost colorless yellow oil that’s extracted from the needle of the pine tree. Certainly, there are many different species of pine trees, but some of the best pine needle essential oil comes from Australia, from the Pinus sylvestris pine tree.

Pine needle essential oil typically has an earthy, outdoorsy fragrance that is reminiscent of a thick forest. Sometimes people describe it as smelling like balsam, which is understandable because balsam trees are a similar type of fir tree with needles. In fact, pine needle essential oil is sometimes called fir leaf oil, despite the fact that leaves are completely different than needles.
