Pine oil

Pine oil is an essential oil derived from various pine species, known for its strong, fresh scent and used in cleaning products, disinfectants, and aromatherapy due to its antimicrobial properties. Pine oil is used as a cleaning product, disinfectant, sanitizer, microbicide (or microbistat), virucide or insecticide. It is an effective herbicide where its action is to modify the waxy cuticle of plants, resulting in desiccation. Pine oil is a disinfectant that is mildly antiseptic.
