Understanding the material

Eden Botanicals documents a needle-derived Scots pine oil, also called Scotch pine, with a fresh coniferous and dry-balsamic profile. Pine is a broad common name spanning multiple species and products. Botanical identity and source part help distinguish this material from fir, cypress and other oils described simply as forest-like.
