DESCRIPTION
Black pepper oil is drier and warmer than the peppercorn, more woody than hot, with the sneeze taken out of it.
Piper nigrum, steam distilled from the berries in Madagascar. A middle note that brings heat to a blend without dominating it, which is why Dolphin Clinic use it in the Sports Massage oil, the Cellulite Toning oil and the Clarifying and Stimulating blend.
Use it well diluted. Five drops per 10ml of carrier is the standard, and it is a good addition to a pre-exercise rub.
Avoid it during the first trimester.
Madagascan pepper, bottled in New Zealand, with the botanical name printed where you can check it.
