## About
Rocky ground, ancient trees, thin air and a clear sky: one breath of this oil and you are standing where the desert meets the foothills of the mountains, with a rare sense of stillness and space around you.Southwestern White Pine, Pinus strobiformis Engelm., grows where the desert meets the foothills, in West Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. This oil is distilled by an artisan distiller from the cones alone, wildcrafted in the mountains. The cones are huge and dripping with resin when they are collected, and that resin gives the oil a rich, balsamic note. High in limonene and the expected pinenes, it is deeper than Pinon Pine needle, with an earthy richness, a hint of pine and sweetness, and something of a very light frankincense.We like it as a refreshing study oil, a change from the usual desk-side scents.DetailsBotanical name: Pinus strobiformis Engelm.Part used: cones onlyOrigin: wildcrafted in the mountains; artisan distilledPrivate ReserveNotable for: limonene, pinenes, d-careneHow to useDiffuse a few drops at your desk, or dilute it in a carrier oil before it touches skin.
