Description:

Fresh, resinous, and deeply clarifying, Scots Pine essential oil is a classic evergreen distillate that evokes the clean, crisp air of a conifer forest. Steam distilled from the needles and twigs of the Pinus sylvestris tree—also known as Norway or forest pine—this oil is sourced from the pristine woodlands of Bulgaria, where sustainable wild harvesting practices ensure purity and potency.

Historically, pine has been used in folk medicine across Europe and Russia for lung health, muscle pain, and energetic cleansing. Scots Pine specifically is valued in aromatherapy for its invigorating, camphoraceous aroma with subtle balsamic sweetness—making it ideal for supporting the respiratory system, clearing stagnant energy, and refreshing both body and space.
