In ancient times, black pepper was considered so valuable it was used as currency and often times referred to as "black gold." These days, black pepper is plentiful and available worldwide throughout the year.
Many skin care products include black pepper for its aromatherapy and healing qualities. The pungent aroma – warm and deep – is derived from the compound piperine and acts as a mental and physical stimulant invigorating the senses and awakening the skin.
