Pine: Pinus sylvestris (L.)
Why pine? The crisp aroma of pine essential oil can transport you to a fresh evergreen forest. The purifying qualities of pine make it ideal for use in homemade cleaners around the house. It is perfect to add to an inhalation blend, and it’s a lovely addition to your outdoor summer blend!
Quality Assured: Our certified organic pine essential oil is responsibly sourced from Europe. The oil is steam distilled from the fresh pine needles and twigs of the pine tree. Every batch of oil is Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth and produced without the use of genetic engineering, artificial fertilizers, or pesticides. Additionally, our expert aromatherapists here at the Apothecary Shoppe personally assess all of our oils—using touch, taste, smell, and lab analyses—to ensure that your essential oil is suitable for use and entirely free of adulterants.
Independent third-party lab reports including GC/MS and pesticide testing results are available upon request. Please send a request to apothecary@achs.edu and include the essential oil's Latin name and lot number; results include a comparative analysis with ISO and the Pharmacopeia when available.
