Whatsapp Order

Allspice Pimento Berry Oil is a warm, spicy-sweet essential oil steam-distilled from the dried berries of the Pimenta dioica plant, native to the Caribbean and Central America. Known for its rich, clove-like aroma with hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and pepper, the oil derives its name from its resemblance to a blend of “all spices.” It contains high concentrations of eugenol and other phenolic compounds, lending it powerful antiseptic, analgesic, and aromatic properties.

Widely used in personal care, massage oils, pharmaceutical balms, and perfumery, Allspice Oil is prized for its warming and comforting scent as well as its therapeutic action. It also finds applications in culinary essence formulations, natural insect repellents, and wellness therapies.
