Pine oil is supplied for industrial cleaning disinfectant and formulation applications.
Pine oil is an essential oil derived from pine needles and wood, valued for its fresh, woody scent and potent antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antiseptic properties. Commonly used in aromatherapy to boost alertness, it also acts as a natural cleaner and disinfectant in household products. It should be used with caution, as it can irritate skin.

Dilution: When using it for massage, it is recommended to dilute it with a carrier oil, such as olive or coconut oil.
