Pinus palustris tar oil is the essential oil from the wood tar of Pinus palustris, which is obtained by "destructive" distillation. Pinus palustris is a coniferous tree from the pine family that is native to the southeastern USA.

Pinus palustris tar oil is used in cosmetic formulations. It acts as an invigorating agent (creates a pleasant feeling on skin or hair) and masking agent (reduces or inhibits an unwanted inherent odour of the product).
