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.

I love the scent when blended with other oils to create a dynamic scent that is warming and at the same time quite masculine
I doing some experimenting with a massage oil for my massage therapist husband, because we like to give that little added service to our clients. I love the smell of this oil and as I'm still busy with trials, I'm sure this will be a beneficial ingredient to my oily pot of wonders !
I absolutely love this oil! I am very happy with it. thanks.
