Stability

PINUS CEMBRA LEAF/TWIG OIL is soluble in alcohol but insoluble in water. To preserve its fragrance and efficacy, it should be stored in a cool environment. Essential oils, including this one, can increase skin's photosensitivity, necessitating that products containing it not be applied immediately before sun exposure or using tanning beds.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Insufficient data
Sensitization risk Moderate

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has deemed specific safety data for PINUS CEMBRA LEAF/TWIG OIL as insufficient. For essential oils within the Pinaceae family, it is critical to maintain peroxide levels below 10 millimoles per liter, often by incorporating antioxidants during production. This oil must be significantly diluted to mitigate the risk of skin irritation, and specific caution is advised for individuals with sensitive skin. Its potential to increase photosensitivity is a key consideration for use.
