Pepper (pink)

Schinus terebinthifolius has allergy potential, same family as poison ivy. Individuals allergic to cashew or mango may react.

Low dermal concentration recommended.

No clear pregnancy data, avoid use.

Schinus terebinthifolius is a South American shrub, particularly from Brazil. Small pale pink fruits, not true pepper (not in family Piperaceae).

The commercial name 'pink peppercorn' is misleading, pink pepper is actually Schinus, not Piper.

Family Anacardiaceae, same family as cashew, mango, and poison ivy.

Citrus-spicy aroma, sweeter than black pepper. In modern perfumery, pink pepper is very popular for fresh-spicy notes.

In fragrance houses like Diptyque and Le Labo, pink pepper is a signature ingredient in many fragrances.
