Description
Known in some cultures as chilli essential oil, this remarkable product is actually a blend of pure capsaicin extract in virgin olive oil.
At a concentration of 12%, with nothing else added, it provides an extremely potent oil-soluble solution for cosmetic use.
With a rating of 40.000 units on the Scoville scale (very, very hot), it produces a localised warming sensation, ideal for massage products, firming treatments and formulations intended to stimulate skin microcirculation.
Because of its concentration, it must be used highly diluted, with a patch test carried out beforehand.
The most common uses for this type of extract are:
- Creams and gels for muscle or joint massage
- Anti-cellulite or slimming treatments
- Warming massage oils
- Cosmetics for cold or tired legs.
- Products designed to improve active ingredient absorption into the skin by stimulating circulation.
Indicative Dilutions.
| Application | Recommended Dosage |
|---|---|
| Sports massage creams | 0,01% – 0,2% |
| Anti-cellulite treatments | 0,005% – 0,05% |
| Warming gels | 0,01% – 0,1% |
| Massage oils | 0,01% – 0,03% |
An extract with these characteristics is expected to stimulate surface circulation and increase local warmth, making it ideal for firming, stimulating and muscle recovery formulas. It provides a distinctive sensory effect: mild or intense warmth, depending on the dosage.
NOT SUITABLE FOR INTERNAL USE / MUCOUS MEMBRANES!! When we say it is very hot, we mean extremely hot. It must never be used to make warming intimate gels. For external use only, carefully following the suggested dosages.

- Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, wounds or sensitive areas.
- Use gloves when formulating.
- Carry out skin compatibility tests.
