Chili Pepper Extract Capsaicin 98%

Capsaicin is a strongly irritating compound found mainly in the genus capsicum, especially the red pepper.
Not only does it give chili peppers their heat, but it also creates a burning sensation when it touches the skin.
The chemical structure of capsaicin contains a non-conjugated nine-carbon fatty acid chain and a vanillamide functional group,
which allows capsaicin to be hydrophobic and lipophobic, and to bind to pain receptors
