Product Description:
Chilly Extract CO2 Oil (Capsicum CO2 Extract) is a highly concentrated, intensely pungent extract derived from select dried red chillies using supercritical carbon dioxide. It captures the full heat profile—primarily capsaicinoids (capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin)—alongside natural deep-red carotenoid pigments (capsanthin). Because it is produced without organic solvents like acetone or hexane, it provides clean, food-safe heat and therapeutic warming benefits without chemical contaminant concerns.
