Oleoresin Capsicum

Oleoresin Capsicum is a natural extract made from chili peppers, particularly hot varieties like cayenne. It's concentrated and contains the active component capsaicin, which gives peppers their heat. This substance is commonly used in self-defense sprays, known as pepper spray, owing to its ability to cause intense pain and temporary incapacitation when it comes into contact with the eyes or skin. Beyond self-defense, it can also have applications in food flavoring and medicine. Its potency and effectiveness make it a versatile ingredient across various fields.
