BLACK PEPPER ESSENTIAL OIL

The Spice Rack's Most Unexpected Fragrance Guest

At RAH/CEL, every ingredient has to earn its place. Here is why black pepper essential oil made the cut.

What Is It?

Black pepper essential oil is distilled from the fruits of the black pepper plant, Piper nigrum. It gives a dry, peppery, slightly woody aroma.

Why We Chose It

It introduces a subtle spicy accent that makes deeper scents feel more interesting without making them sweet.

Good to Know

We use black pepper for its aromatic spice, not as a warming treatment. If you're trying a product for the first time, patch test a small area and stop use if irritation occurs.

Fun Fact

Black, white and green peppercorns can come from the very same Piper nigrum vine. Different harvest times and processing give them different colors—one plant, several disguises.
