What is Pink Pepper?

Pink Pepper comes from the dried berries of the Schinus tree and is botanically distinct from black pepper. When steam-distilled, these berries produce pink pepper essential oil, prized in aromatherapy for its uplifting, warming, and emotionally balancing properties. Often used to bring brightness and movement to blends, pink pepper oil adds a gentle spicy note without heaviness. Aromatherapy Associates uses Pink Pepper to create blends that feel energising, refined, and emotionally uplifting.
