Question

Regarding the use of Chili Hot in a lotion formulation:

  • What is the recommended concentration to achieve a warming sensation upon application?
  • Is it necessary to use Chili Hot in combination with Menthol for this effect?

Answer

To achieve a warming sensation in a lotion using Chili Hot™, it is recommended to use it at a concentration of 0.3-0.5%. The maximum recommended concentration is 1.0% to ensure safety and avoid irritation.

It is not necessary to use Chili Hot™ with Menthol if you want a hot feeling. In fact, if Chili Hot™ is mixed with Menthol, it will result in a longer and more cooling sensation instead of a hot feeling.
