Scots Pine Oil (Pinus Sylvestris)
The Energy Kick & Muscle Friend
What is Pinus Sylvestris Leaf Oil? It is the essential oil of the Scots Pine. In contrast to the balsamic fir, the scent of the pine is more distinct, tart, and fresh. It is a real "action oil": It activates, wakes you up, and brings back energy. It is obtained by steam distillation of the needles and young twig tips.
⚡ Activation & Sports
Pine needle oil is indispensable in sports products (such as Hago Muscle Fluid).
- Circulation: It strongly stimulates the skin's microcirculation, creating a pleasant warmth.
- Loosening: Ideal for massage before or after sports to release tension and prevent sore muscles.
- Revitalization: The scent drives away fatigue and feelings of weakness.
🩵 Shield for the Skin
Besides its effect on muscles, it has potent cleansing properties.
Dermatological benefits:
- Antiseptic: It acts strongly against bacteria and fungi, making it a good additive in foot care products and soaps.
- Deodorizing: It neutralizes body odors not just by masking, but by inhibiting bacteria.
⚠ What you should watch out for
Skin Tolerance: Pinus Sylvestris is potent. For sensitive skin, the circulation-boosting effect can lead to redness. As with all oils containing terpenes: Store in a cool place to prevent oxidation, as oxidized terpenes can trigger allergies.
