Some people with sensitive skin or even allergies might experience redness, itching or other skin irritation when using pine nut oil. So as with all essential oils, it’s a good idea to first perform a small patch test to make sure you don’t experience side effects. Apply one to two drops with a carrier oil to a part of your skin that’s not very sensitive, such as your feet or forearm, and wait for your reaction before beginning to use pine oil on your face, chest or other sensitive areas.
Always combine pine oil with a carrier oil, and never use them undiluted directly on your skin. Keep pine oil away from your eyes or inside of your nose, where it can come into contact with mucus membranes that can easily become irritated. Remember that as with all essential oils, you only want to use them internally when you’re certain you have a pure, therapeutic-grade oil. *
