What does it do?

Capsicum 80% Ethanol Extract is derived from capsicum and is primarily used in pharmaceuticals for the purpose of alleviating musculoskeletal pain. It contains capsaicin, which provides local stimulation to help relieve pain.

When applied to the skin, this ingredient causes local tingling and warmth, which reduces pain signals and promotes blood circulation. This helps to relieve discomfort caused by muscle and joint stiffness or inflammation.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
