Pinus palustris tar is the name given to the wood tar from "Pinus palustris" of the pitch-pine, a conifer of the pine family native to the southeastern United States.

Pinus palustris tar is the end product of "destructive" distillation extracted from the wood of the marsh pine. The tar product is used in cosmetic formulations. It acts as a denaturant (makes cosmetic ingredients and products inedible) and as an anti-dandruff agent.
