About
Water distilled or drawn from Scots pine trunks, used as a gentle plant-based hydrating ingredient. Mind the pine allergen potential.
Pinus sylvestris trunk water is an aqueous extract or distillate taken from Scots pine wood, containing dilute polyphenols, organic acids, and trace terpenes. Pine wood extracts are used in cosmetics for hydration, mild antioxidant carryover, and skin conditioning. Pine-family ingredients can contain terpenes such as alpha-pinene that are known fragrance allergens at higher concentrations, though trunk waters are typically much lower in volatile content than needle or essential oils. No CIR monograph, but EU CosIng lists the Pinus sylvestris ingredient family as acceptable cosmetic raw materials. Batch consistency depends on supplier.
