Umuthi Black Pepper Pure Essential Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil from the ripened berries of Piper nigrum . It has a warm, spicy aroma with subtle fruity and floral nuances, making it useful in massage blends, diffuser blends, and natural perfumery. This is a concentrated essential oil and should be used sparingly, especially in topical products.
It is different from ground black pepper used in cooking, as the essential oil is much more concentrated. Why we love it: Black pepper essential oil adds instant warmth and depth to a blend. It is especially useful when a formulation needs a spicy, grounding note without becoming too heavy.
