Turpentine Oil

Turpentine oil, extracted from pine resin, is occasionally used in cosmetics for its strong aroma, suited
for fragranced products like perfumes. However, its volatile nature and potential for skin irritation limit
its use. Turpentine oil is carefully regulated and replaced with safer alternatives in skincare
formulations. When utilized, it’s in low concentrations and with caution to prevent adverse reactions.
Overall, due to its risks, turpentine oil is not a preferred ingredient in cosmetics.
