Capsaicin Powder

Capsaicin Powder – Pure 16 Million SHU Chili Pepper Extract

Our capsaicin powder represents the highest possible level of spice intensity available on the market today. Each crystal is carefully sealed to preserve maximum potency and purity from production through storage. This product contains pure capsaicin measured at an incredible sixteen million Scoville Heat Units (SHU)—the absolute peak of the Scoville Scale and the benchmark used to measure all chili peppers and pepper extracts worldwide.

Highly refined and laboratory-grade, this capsaicin powder exhibits unique physical characteristics. It is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water rather than dissolving in it. The powder is completely colorless and transparent, leaving no visible residue when properly diluted. It also carries a mild, slightly sweet aroma instead of the sharp scent typically associated with chili peppers. When dry, the texture appears crystalline, but exposure to moisture or warmth can cause it to soften into a waxy or resin-like consistency.

Because of its extreme concentration, capsaicin powder must be handled with care. Direct contact with skin can cause intense pain and irritation. The use of rubber or nitrile gloves is required, and eye protection—such as safety goggles or a full face shield—is strongly recommended. Even trace amounts can produce severe discomfort if mishandled.

This product is commonly sold under the name chili pepper extract, and its sixteen million SHU rating is backed by the mathematical structure of the Scoville Scale. To dilute capsaicin powder from sixteen million SHU to just one SHU, it would require a sixteen-million-to-one dilution ratio. Despite its potency, pure capsaicin powder has no flavor of its own, making it ideal for controlled heat applications without altering taste.

In culinary use, extremely small amounts allow you to add anything from gentle warmth to intense heat. Capsaicin powder is frequently used in hot sauces, fresh salsas, dry spice blends, barbecue rubs, marinades, and specialty baked goods. Because of its strength, precision is critical—tiny measurements provide exact control over heat intensity.

Safety warnings are essential when working with high-concentration capsaicin powder. Always read and accept the product waiver and disclaimer before use. Store the powder in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, as excessive exposure can degrade its potency. This product must be kept completely out of reach of children and pets at all times.
