Chilli CO₂ Oil

CSV05

Chilli CO₂ Oil (CAS No. 68917-78-2) is a highly concentrated extract derived from the fruits of Capsicum annuum through supercritical carbon dioxide extraction. This solvent-free method ensures the retention of capsaicinoids, carotenoids, and essential aroma compounds, resulting in a deep red, viscous oil with an intense, pungent, and spicy aroma.

Rich in capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin, chilli CO₂ Oil is valued for its strong analgesic, anti-inflammatory, circulatory-stimulating, and thermogenic properties. It is widely used in topical formulations, sports balms, massage oils, functional foods, and natural warming agents in wellness products. CSV Pharmaceuticals India is among the trusted and certified manufacturers and exporters of 100% Pure and Natural Chili CO₂ Oil, suitable for cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food-grade applications.
