Capsicum oleoresin

Capsicum oleoresin is a highly concentrated extract derived from chilli peppers and is prized for its intense heat and warming properties. It is used in very small amounts in external-use formulations such as muscle balms, rubs, and warming products. Due to its strength, careful handling and dilution are essential.

About capsicum oleoresin

Capsicum oleoresin is produced via solvent extraction of chilli seeds, resulting in a potent, oil-soluble extract containing naturally occurring capsaicinoids. It is typically used in targeted, low-percentage applications where a strong warming effect is desired. This ingredient is not suitable for facial products or leave-on skincare intended for sensitive areas.

How to use capsicum oleoresin

Capsicum oleoresin should always be diluted before use and handled with care. Gloves are strongly recommended when formulating. It is most commonly used in muscle and joint balms, warming salves, and soapmaking. Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and broken skin.
