Why is there black pepper in our cream?
Well skin is very good at keeping things out. That's its job after all. So a cream needs a little help getting its ingredients in.
Piperine, the natural compound that gives pepper its warmth, makes skin more permeable, which helps the other ingredients absorb. Nutmeg helps in a similar way.
So the pepper isn't the main event. It's there to help the arnica, manuka and everything else in Koru FX soak in. One pump, a quick rub, and you're done.
