White Pepper Oil is derived from the dried berries (peppercorns) of the Piper nigrum plant, the same plant that produces black pepper. This is made from unripe, green berries that are dried and sometimes fermented, white pepper is made from ripe berries that have had the outer husk removed through a process called retting. The oil has a warm and spicy aroma, similar to black pepper oil but with some subtle differences. It is often used in aromatherapy to create a stimulating and invigorating atmosphere. White Pepper Oil may be used in massage blends to promote a warming sensation and has properties that support healthy circulation.
