Pine needle oil

Pine needle oil (CAS 8023-99-2), also known by its FEMA 2906 designation, is a steam-distilled essential oil derived from the needles and twigs of Pinus sylvestris. It delivers a sharp, fresh, forest-characteristic scent profile that drives demand across fragrance, flavoring, and antimicrobial applications.

In personal care and cosmetics, it functions as a fragrance component and preservative booster in soaps, shower gels, shampoos, and masculine grooming products. Food and beverage manufacturers use it as a flavoring agent to impart coniferous, fresh notes in confectionery, beverages, and chewing gum formulations.

Pharmaceutical and OTC product formulators incorporate it as an active or excipient in topical preparations, inhalation products, and oral care items. Its antimicrobial character supports product efficacy in these specialized medical and health applications.

It also serves industrial cleaning and household product formulations as a solvent carrier and natural biocide component. This makes it a staple ingredient in pine-scented disinfectants and surface cleaners used in commercial settings.

Pine needle oil is supplied as a clear to pale yellow mobile liquid. Standard commercial grades include food-grade (FCC-compliant) and cosmetic or technical grades, with natural and rectified variants available depending on purity requirements.

Packaging typically ranges from small drums to bulk quantities for industrial buyers. Our supply chain ensures consistent quality and availability for large-scale manufacturing needs across the fragrance and chemical sectors.
