Application in cosmetics
Cayenne powder extract is suitable for cosmetic applications and is used in warming formulations, for example in muscle gels and anti-cellulite concepts. Its dispersibility in water makes it easy to incorporate into aqueous phases. The recommended use concentration is 0.5 to 2 %. Because of the pungency of capsaicin, precise dosing is required, and stability and compatibility tests in the final formulation are mandatory.
Application in food
In the food sector, the extract serves as a concentrated pungency component, for instance in spice blends and beverages. The powder extract can be used under food law. Thanks to its dispersibility in water, the powder can also be dosed evenly in liquid applications.
