Extraction
Pink pepper essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of ripe berries and appears as a pale yellow liquid with an unmistakable sweet, fresh, spicy scent with a woody undertone.
Affinity
Pink pepper essential oil harmonizes well with the essential oils of: cinnamon leaves, clove, mastic, nutmeg, opoponax, oregano, mountain pine, ravensara and styrax.
Property
Pink pepper essential oil, non-toxic but slightly irritating, has analgesic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. It should be used with caution on the skin, as it can cause sensitization. It's therefore a good idea to use it regularly with a vegetable oil such as sweet almond or sesame oil. When used in a diffuser, this natural extract can act as a mood tonic (calming), even helping to control stubborn addictions such as smoking.
Uses
Pink pepper essential oil is used as an unusual fragrance component in perfumery, cosmetics, and woody-spicy soaps, often as a substitute for black pepper oil. In South America, it is primarily used in agriculture as a valuable ingredient in the formulation of natural pesticides.
Botany
Native to tropical and subtropical South America (especially Argentina, southeastern Brazil, and Paraguay), pink pepper is also known as "Brazilian pepper" or "false pepper". It is a shrub that can grow to over ten meters tall, with serrated, oval leaves and small, white flowers clustered in clusters. It is a highly prized ornamental plant, thanks to both its elegant foliage and its decorative fruits, consisting of aromatic, scarlet-red berries (when ripe). However, due to its remarkable adaptability to diverse environments (found from dunes to swamps), it is feared for its tendency to colonize the natural habitat of other native species, eventually replacing them.
