100% pure Ponderosa Pine (Pinus ponderosa) essential oil

Ponderosa Pine is a medium to large evergreen conifer that is distributed in the central-south areas of both the Pacific and Cordilleran regions of Western North America. This Indigenous people of BC were very familiar with this tree as they used the seeds and inner bark as a source of food. Ponderosa pine oil has a pleasant pine aroma with subtle balsamic, woody and citrus-like hints. This oil is quite versatile as it is associated with purification, soothing and being emotionally uplifting.
