Pure Capsicum Essential Oil – Benefits & Applications : 

• Our capsicum oil acts as a protective and supporting agent that not only improves skin health but also repairs damage caused by pollution and environmental stress, which promotes premature skin ageing.
• It encourages the growth of new tissue and skin, resulting in an appearance that is cleaner, brighter, and more evenly toned.
• When this oil is applied to dry, flaky skin on a daily basis, scars heal faster, irritation is soothed, and redness and unattractive indicators like age spots and dark circles fade.
• It is said to thoroughly nourish the scalp and hair, as well as provide relief from dryness and irritation caused by germs, fungus, and dandruff.
