Pinene
Pinene
Pinene is a fragrance compound found in many essential oils, including rosemary, pine, citrus and lemongrass. In our cosmetics, it comes from essential oils and fragrance compositions.
EU law requires it to be listed by name in the ingredients so that people allergic to specific fragrance substances can easily identify and avoid it. You'll find it in hand and body lotions and creams, soap and hair styling products.
Did you know?: Pinene takes its name from the pine tree (Latin Pinus) - it is largely responsible for the scent of coniferous forests and resin.
