Organic Black Pepper Essential Oil

Are you looking for a warm and invigorating spicy-peppery essential oil, rich in beta-caryophyllene and sabinene, with a characteristic fresh pepper scent, for warming massage synergies and spicy-citrus winter diffusions? The Organic Black Pepper EO from Herbes et Traditions (Piper nigrum, berries) is distilled from the unripe berries of the black pepper plant. Its profile, rich in beta-caryophyllene (15-30%), sabinene, and alpha-pinene, gives it a fresh, spicy, and warm pepper scent that is highly appreciated in diffusion and in warming massage preparations. 10ml. Ecocert organic certified.

Aromatic and cosmetic profile

• Rich in beta-caryophyllene (15-30%): a sesquiterpene shared with copaiba and clove, known for its characteristic woody-spicy aromatic properties.
• Fresh, spicy, and warm pepper scent: dry, pungent, and recognizable. The pepper note in EO is fresher and more complex than ground pepper. Highly valued in natural perfumery for adding character.
• Warming cosmetic care: capsaicin is not present in the EO (it is absent from distillable fruits), but the pepper's sesquiterpenes and monoterpenes create a gentle and penetrating thermal effect when used in diluted massage.
• 10ml: Organic Ecocert. Herbes et Traditions.

FAQ

Is black pepper EO pungent like pepper?
No. Piperine (the alkaloid responsible for the pungency of pepper) is not volatile and is not present in the distilled EO. Black pepper EO has a pepper scent without the burning sensation of piperine. It can create a slight warming effect when applied topically, but this is not due to piperine.

Can it be used in cooking?
Yes, 1 drop in a culinary preparation. Black pepper EO provides a fresh and aromatic pepper note that is different from ground pepper — less pungent but more complex and aromatic.

What aromatic pairings go well with black pepper?
Lemon and bergamot (fresh-spicy accord), ginger (spicy-earthy accord), sandalwood and vetiver (masculine woody-spicy accord), lavender (floral-spicy accord). Black pepper is a very versatile active ingredient with character in natural perfumery.
