What is the difference between pines, Swiss pines, and stone pines?

{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"They are three different pine trees. Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) has the classic, strong pine scent and is the most popular. Swiss stone pine (Pinus cembra) grows high in the Alps and Carpathians and has a softer, warmer scent. Maritime pine (Pinus pinaster) comes from the coast of southern Europe and has a strong, resinous scent. All three are steam-distilled from the needles and twigs."}]}]}

Is pine oil the same as turpentine oil?

{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"No. Our pine oils are distilled from the tree’s needles and twigs. Turpentine oil is distilled from the resin and has a different composition, a different INCI name, and a different classification. So don’t confuse them in your formula or on your label."}]}]}

What do your customers use pine oil for?

{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"We most often see pine oil used in sauna infusions, soap, candles, diffuser fragrance products, and cleaning products. The pine you choose depends mainly on how strong you want the scent to be in your finished product. We deliberately do not provide guidance on percentages or formulations; those are part of your own formulation and safety assessment."}]}]}

How should I store pine oil, and how long does it keep?

{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Cool, dark, and with the container tightly closed; it stays at its best longest in the original packaging. Pine oils contain a lot of terpenes, which react with oxygen, so a half-empty container that is opened often deteriorates faster. The shelf life of your batch is listed on the certificate of analysis."}]}]}

Pine Oil

2 Products

Pine as a raw material for soap and candle makers, cosmetic brands, saunas and cleaning products. We supply three different types of pine; below, you can read what sets them apart.

The three types at a glance

Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris): the classic pine scent, fresh, woody and potent. The most popular of the three.
Swiss stone pine (Pinus cembra): softer and warmer in character, from the high-altitude forests of the Alps and the Carpathians.
Maritime pine (Pinus pinaster): potent and resinous, from the pine that grows along the coast of southern Europe.

All three are SKAL-certified organic, 100% pure and steam-distilled from the needles and twigs. For each oil, you’ll find the product specification, safety data sheet and certificate of analysis for each batch. Interested in larger volumes or regular orders? Request a quote.
