This is the best, most authentic pine EO I have found. I blend it with juniper, frankincense, and cedar for a wonderful evergreen soap. My father-in-law tried the soap at Yule and loved it so much he bought a whole batch!

Very stimulating and strong. This oil would be excellent for cold and flu blends. It definitely has a vapor rub note. Also known as “Ocean Pine” and “Sea Pine”
