Frequently asked questions about Black Peppercorn

What is Black Pepper oil?
Piper nigrum, steam-distilled from the dried unripe berries of the pepper vine. The oil captures black pepper's warm, spicy character without the sneeze-inducing bite of the ground spice.
What is it used for?
Traditionally used in topical preparations for muscular tension and warming massage blends. Also a popular base note in natural perfumery.
Is it safe on skin?
Yes, when properly diluted in a carrier oil. Like most warming spice oils, it can irritate skin if applied undiluted, so always blend at 1-2% for skin applications.
