PINE TAR HISTORY

While living in the northern parts of Finland, I discovered the wonderful campfire aroma of the pine tar. Used in shampoos, soaps, candy and even mustard, the woody scent remained ever since with me. For some people the pine tar odor can be overwhelming. Pine tar is a sticky substance that results from burning the wood of pine trees. The history of pine tar dates back to the Egyptians, who were using for the embalming body rituals. Pine tar used as preservative to protect wood from the harsh winter conditions as well as on the bottoms of Nordic skis. Pine tar soaps have been used in soothing treatments for skin conditions, such as eczema and psoriasis; it is said to relieve itching caused by bug bites. This property alone makes it a great addition to your medicine cabinet during the warm mosquitoes months.

Here is the basic description of each ingredient:

Myrrh – strengthening healer, warm, woody, balsamic aroma
Frankincense – rejuvenating, spicy, woody, balsamic aroma
Hyssop- expectorant, “forgives sins”, fresh, sweet, earthy aroma
Rosemary – restorer, fresh, green scent
Lavender – balances, light, floral scent
Coconut Oil – deep cleansing, firming, Capric acid, Lauric acid and Caprylic acid
Olive Oil – hydroxytyrosol, an antioxidant found only in olive oil, provides anti-inflammatory effects to help heal skin abrasions, rashes and even sunburn
