What It Is

Pine needles, derived from various species of pine trees, have been used for centuries in traditional medicine for their wide array of therapeutic properties. When infused into topical skincare products, pine needles release a host of beneficial compounds that contribute to skin health and wellness. These needles are rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and essential oils—all of which play crucial roles in maintaining vibrant, healthy skin.

One of the key components found in pine needles is pinene, a natural compound known for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. This makes pine needle-infused products particularly effective in soothing irritated skin and combating bacterial infections. Additionally, the high antioxidant content helps protect the skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage, promoting a more youthful appearance.
