Pine oil is a fundamental oil gotten by the steam refining of needles, twigs and cones from an assortment of types of pine, especially Pinus sylvestris.  Synthetically, pine oil comprises fundamentally of cyclic terpene alcohols. It might likewise contain terpene hydrocarbons, ethers, and esters. The correct creation relies upon different components, for example, the assortment of pine from which it is delivered and the parts of the tree utilized.
