DESCRIPTION: Capsi Resin Extract oil is a concentrated extract of red chilli pepper. Using small concentrations is enough to stimulate hair growth, reduce cellulite, slim excess fat tissue, relieve symptoms of varicose veins, and relieve muscle, joint and soft tissue pain. It has also been used for chronic pain. Because it contains capsaicin (The active compound in chilli peppers that makes them hot), it reduces the chemicals that transmit pain. It has been found to help relieve pain from some arthritic conditions such as osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Capsi Resin Extract acts as a stimulant, increasing blood flow to the skin and reducing puffiness. Increased blood flow aids in slimming – reducing fat deposits and anti-cellulite activity.
In haircare, increased blood flow to the follicles means an increase in nutrients to the root of the hair that maintains the vitality of the hair and increases the growth speed of the hair. In hair care, it also possesses protective and anti-dandruff properties.
