What is Pink Pepper Essential Oil?

Pink Pepper Essential Oil is extracted through steam distillation of the dried berries of Schinus molle, the Peruvian pepper tree. The trees grow wild in South America. The scent is warm, spicy and lightly sweet with a sparkling pepper note. The oil is full of monoterpenes like limonene, myrcene and alpha-pinene. Great for clear, pure skin and for a fresh focus in the diffuser.

What makes Pink Pepper Essential Oil so special?

Pink pepper has nothing to do with black pepper. Schinus molle belongs to the cashew family and grows wild in the mountains of Peru and Chile. That unique origin gives the oil its distinctive scent: spicy and peppery, but without the sharp bite of true pepper.
