Terpinyl acetate is a fatty acid that is used as a chemical pesticide and disinfectant. It is extracted from the acetate extract of plant material, such as pine needles. Terpinyl acetate has shown good antifungal activity in vitro, but it has not been tested on humans. Terpinyl acetate's mechanism of action is not fully understood, but it may be due to its acidic nature or cationic surfactant properties. It also has the ability to remove dirt and dead skin cells from human skin cells. Terpinyl acetate can react with hydrochloric acid to form terpinen-4-ol, which is an important component of pine oil.
