Description
Pink Pepper (Schinus molle) is not pepper in the botanical sense of the word; it belongs to the Anacardiaceae family (related to pistachio and cashew), not to the black pepper family. The Incas called it "mulli" and considered it a panacea: the leaves and fruits were included in treatments for joints, wounds, dental, and kidney problems. Today, its primary applications are for massage and anti-cellulite treatments due to its rubefacient, circulatory, and anti-inflammatory properties, for joint and muscular comfort, but especially in niche perfumery where it brings a distinct spicy-floral note. Its spicy-sweetish aroma, with notes of red fruits and juniper, is gentler and brighter compared to black pepper.
Two practical details to remember: it is sensitive to oxidation and must be stored in a cool place - oxidized monoterpenes become irritating. Individuals with allergies to plants in the Anacardiaceae family (cashew, pistachio, mango) must perform a rigorous patch test or avoid the product entirely.

Questions and Answers (FAQ)
Q: What is the difference compared to the Black Pepper in the Ellemental range?
A: They are completely different species with no botanical relation. Black Pepper (Piper nigrum, Piperaceae family) has a drier, sharper aroma, with a more powerful rubefacient effect and a more stimulating-energizing profile. Pink Pepper (Schinus molle, Anacardiaceae family) possesses a sweeter, more floral aroma with red fruit notes, it is more nuanced, more accessible olfactorily, with a more balanced profile and a gentler effect on the skin. They complement each other perfectly in sports massage blends or spicy perfumery.
Q: Can it be consumed as a spice?
A: We do not recommend the ingestion of essential oils. Pink pepper is a culinary spice, but the essential oil is extremely concentrated. To flavor culinary dishes, please use ground pink peppercorns instead.

warming, rich in anti-inflammatory compounds relaxes muscle stiffness, relieves joint discomfort prepares muscles before exercise helps peripheral blood circulation purifies room air in perfumery accompanies floral, spicy and oriental notes helps relieve colds, expectorant digestive tonic, helps combat bloating and colic helps in antibacterial applications
Wow, it's powerful, invigorating, and calming along with the jasmine and bergamot.
I've been waiting for it for a while and I really like it, it's not as peppery as black pepper but has a floral profile and goes great with vetiver and citrus.
Very pleasant pepper scent, spicy, yet floral, colorful, different from black pepper, it enhances the creams/moisturizers for peripheral circulation, warms and stimulates blood circulation. Provides a distinctive note in perfumes or creams.
