Black pepper fruit oil is produced through steam distillation. This process involves subjecting dried peppercorns to high-pressure steam. The aromatic compounds within the peppercorns are vaporized by the steam and carried through a cooling system, where they condense back into a liquid form. This liquid is then separated into oil and water layers. The oil, which floats to the top, is carefully extracted. Black pepper fruit oil offers several potential skin benefits. Its warming properties can stimulate circulation, potentially reducing the appearance of cellulite and improving skin tone. The oil's antioxidant content helps combat free radicals, those harmful molecules that contribute to premature aging, wrinkles, and dark spots. Additionally, black pepper fruit oil possesses anti-inflammatory properties, making it a potential aid in soothing irritated skin and reducing redness
