Pinus Palustris (longleaf pine) Leaf Extract is derived from pine needles and used in cosmetics primarily for its antioxidant and skin-conditioning properties, attributed to its content of polyphenols, terpenes, and aromatic compounds. It is often included for its potential soothing and protective effects against oxidative stress.
