• Food and beverage: FEMA-approved flavoring agent for vanilla-adjacent warmth notes in confectionery, beverages, oral care
• Hair care and scalp treatments targeting circulation-stimulating claims
• It functions as a warming agent, producing a mild, long-lasting heat sensation on skin or mucous membranes without capsaicin-associated irritation.

Good to know: Unlike capsaicin, it produces a mild, long-lasting heat sensation without the associated irritation. Its antioxidant activity supports oxidative stability of lipid-rich bases.
