Origin
Capsicum Annuum Extract comes from sweet bell peppers, cayenne, or chili peppers native to Central and South America. However, these fruits are now cultivated globally in countries like India, China, Mexico, and Spain. The extract is made by soaking fresh or dried fruits in a solvent such as ethanol, glycerin, or propylene glycol. The mixture is then filtered to remove solid residues, and it may be optionally concentrated.
