Safety score · 0–100

Moderate

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

L-beta-Pinene — a pine-scented monoterpene used in fragrance. Oxidises to allergenic peroxides, so older or poorly stored material has real sensitization potential.

Skin benefits

  • Pine/resinous fragrance terpene
  • Natural origin terpene used in perfumery

Known concerns

  • Terpene that oxidises in air to allergenic peroxides
  • Skin sensitization potential, especially in oxidised material
  • EU labelling considerations for oxidised limonene/linalool class — pinene shares the same hazard pattern
  • Use freshly with antioxidants
