Canadian NaturalsPine - Red - Oil

Botany:

Pinus resinosa, commonly known as red pine, is a conical, straight-trunked, evergreen conifer. It typically grows to 35 meters in height, its bark is a light color, its branches grow spreading and ascending, its twigs are colored from orange to reddish-brown, needles are straight to slightly twisted. It is a member of the Pinaceae family and botanically classified as a conifer.

Ethnobotany:

Native Americans traditionally employed it for numerous uses, including the resin for caulking canoes and mending roofs, however, it was mostly used for medicinal purposes. It was the most important timber pine in the Great Lakes region and remains one of the most extensively planted species in the northern United States and Canada.

Uses:

Its turpentine content makes it an essential choice for household products, especially those intended for the maintenance of wood. In a circular economy approach, Cedarome uses the twigs and the needles left behind as byproducts of the timber industry as a primary source for the production of Pinus resinosa essential oil. Applications include fine fragrance, flavour/food, cosmetics, and aromatherapy.
