Pink Pepper Organic Essential Oil

Our organic Pink Peppercorn Oil is steam-distilled from the pinkish-red peppercorns harvested from the Schinus molle tree, native to the Andes Mountains of Peru. Also known as Brazilian Pepper and Peruvian Pepper, Pink Pepper is a fast-growing, drought-resistant evergreen tree that can reach up to 50 feet in height. The pink peppercorns, similar in size to black peppercorns, display a vibrant pinkish-red color and offer a wonderfully spicy-peppery aroma.

Pink Peppercorn Essential Oil features a bright peppery scent with a faint floral note, complemented by a dry woody and slightly smoky undertone. Its aroma is more subdued and with brighter top notes compared to Black Pepper Essential Oil. This middle note can lend a unique and distinctive character to aromatic blends. The molle, or Pink Peppercorn Tree, held sacred significance to the ancient Incans. Indigenous populations utilized all parts of the tree, including the pink peppercorn fruit, as herbal remedies for health concerns since before Columbus discovered the Americas. 

It’s important to note that the aromatherapeutic properties of Pink Peppercorn Essential Oil differ from those of Black Pepper Essential Oil, and they should not be used interchangeably. Chemically, Black Pepper (Piper nigrum) Oil and Pink Pepper (Schinus molle) Oil are quite distinct: Pink Pepper Essential Oil contains approximately 80% monoterpenes, including a-Phellandrene, Myrcene, Limonene, B-Phellandrene, and a-Pinene. In contrast, Black Pepper Essential Oil typically contains about 50-60% monoterpenes.

Each and every batch of Amala essential oils is tested by an independent international laboratory before being sent to us. A Certificate of Analysis is issued, stating the purity of the oil.
