Escentia Capsicum Oleoresin is a highly concentrated chilli-derived oleoresin used in warming cosmetic formulations and massage blends where only a very small amount is needed. It is commonly chosen for external-use blends intended for targeted body application, especially when formulators want a strong warming profile. This is a pure, undiluted oleoresin, not a ready-to-use massage oil and not a steam-distilled essential oil. Because it is extremely potent, it must always be diluted carefully before skin use.

♡ Why we love it: This is one of those specialist ingredients that gives makers real formulation range when used with care. Its concentrated nature makes it especially useful for creating powerful warming blends, and a little goes a very long way.

Faqs

Q: What does the capsaicin percentage mean?
A: The 6.0% to 6.6% capsaicin range refers to the potency of the pure oleoresin, not to a diluted strength. It indicates that this is a very strong raw material that should be used sparingly.

Q: Is this the same as chilli essential oil?
A: No. This product is sold as a capsicum oleoresin, which is a concentrated chilli extract. It should be handled as a potent formulation ingredient rather than a ready-to-use oil.
