Pine Essence

 

History of Pine Essence:

 

Pine oil has a long history in cosmetic use dating back to ancient times. The ancient Egyptians used pine oil for its healing properties and aesthetic benefits.

The ancient Greeks and Romans also used pine oil in their beauty rituals. They believed that this oil had purifying properties for the skin, making it smoother and clearer.

In the Middle Ages, pine oil was used as a perfume to mask unpleasant odors, but it was also used for its antiseptic properties to fight skin infections.

Over the following centuries, it has been used as an ingredient in many cosmetic products, such as face creams, shower gels and shampoos. Pine oil is also used in the perfume industry to add a fresh, woody note to perfumes.

Today, pine oil is still used in many cosmetic products due to its purifying properties and pleasant scent. It is often used in skin care products to combat blemishes and pimples, as well as in hair products to strengthen hair and add shine.
