Organic Black Pepper Essential Oil
Part of our Ingredient Glossary — educational information about raw materials we may use in our products. We don't sell raw ingredients.
Black Pepper essential oil has the same sharp, fiery, and spicy character as the freshly ground spice, but with a brighter, woodier complexity. It’s a powerful, warming, and incredibly stimulating aroma that immediately awakens the senses and gets the blood moving.
Its primary use in our craft is for its warming properties. It’s a key ingredient in our muscle rubs and post-workout soaks. When applied in a safe dilution, it creates a gentle warming sensation that helps to soothe sore, aching muscles and ease stiffness by boosting local circulation.
Aromatically, Black Pepper is a potent mental stimulant. It’s not calming; it’s an oil for action and focus. Its sharp scent helps to cut through brain fog, enhance alertness, and provide a jolt of energy when you’re feeling sluggish or unmotivated.
Honesty is key with such a strong oil. Black Pepper is a "hot" oil and must be used with great care and in very low dilutions to avoid skin irritation. We formulate with this respect, harnessing its power safely. Our organic oil is sourced from the USA.
