Pinyon Pine (Pinus edulis) is a common desert conifer, native to the U.S., particularly to the 4 corners area Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, with sparse populations in Nevada, southwester California, Wyoming, Texas and Mexico. Our Pinyon Pine is wildcrafted, steam-distilled from the needles and twigs, producing a soft, sweet clear essential oil with the aroma of fresh conifer, woody/resinous undertones similar to Scotch Pine. It has short bright-green or blue-green needles and are bunched in twos, dark-gray brown bark with reddish patches furrowed with rough, scaly ridges. The cones are small and their nuts are a food source for many desert dwelling animals. Used traditionally by Native Americans for respiratory issues and for sacred purifying ceremonies.
