Pine oil is a natural essential oil derived from the needles, twigs, and cones of pine trees, particularly from the Pinus species. It is known for its fresh, woody scent and is commonly used in cleaning products, aromatherapy, and as a natural insect repellent. The oil contains compounds like alpha-pinene and beta-pinene, which contribute to its antimicrobial properties. Pine oil is often used in household cleaners for its ability to disinfect surfaces and eliminate odors. Additionally, it is sometimes used in massage oils for its soothing effects on muscles and joints.
