Cubeb Pepper Oil - CO₂ is a premium extract derived from the dried berries of Piper cubeba, a climbing vine native to Indonesia. Renowned for its warm, spicy, and woody aroma with subtle camphoraceous and peppery notes, this oil is widely used in aromatherapy, natural perfumery, and traditional medicine.
