About

A glucose-linked form of capsaicin (the heat compound in chillies) designed to release gentler warmth on skin. Real circulation/warming effect, but it's still the parent class of one of cosmetics' strongest neuro-irritants — keep away from eyes and mucosa.

Function

HUMECTANT

Skin benefits

  • Mild warming sensation in slimming or scalp products
  • Glucoside form is gentler than free capsaicin
  • Acts on TRPV1 receptors at low concentrations

Known concerns

  • Still derived from a potent neuro-irritant
  • Burning sensation if dose is too high
  • Eye-area and mucosal use should be avoided
  • Skin sensitisation possible on repeated use
