Property

Scots pine essential oil has antiseptic, antiviral, bactericidal, balsamic, and deodorant properties; when used in moderation, it is completely non-toxic and non-irritating. In the past, it was a natural remedy for pediculosis (lice) and was also used as an anti-catarrhal treatment.

Uses

Siberian pine essential oil is commonly used in cosmetics, soaps, and personal hygiene products (especially bath products). The food industry sometimes uses it as a flavoring ingredient in alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

Botany

Commonly known as the "common pine", the Scots pine is native to Eurasia. It is a large evergreen tree, up to forty meters tall, with long, stiff needle-like leaves, deeply fissured reddish-brown bark, and pointed cones. It is cultivated in Russia, Scandinavia, Finland, and the United States primarily for its modest timber and turpentine.
