Pepper patch 10x16-Olko

What it is

OLKO pepper patch 10 x 16 is a warming patch used on the skin when you want a strong local heating effect for tense muscles, stiff joints, or during seasonal periods when people prefer warming products on the chest or upper back. It works as a counterirritant: instead of cooling or numbing the area, it creates noticeable warmth on the surface of the skin, which can shift attention away from deeper discomfort and help the area feel looser.

Key components

The main active component is capsicum extract, obtained from pepper. Capsicum contains compounds that stimulate heat‑sensitive receptors in the skin, which is why the patch gradually creates a hot, tingling sensation after application. The composition also includes an adhesive base with natural rubber and zinc oxide, helping the patch adhere well to dry skin.

• Capsicum extract, obtained from pepper – stimulates heat‑sensitive receptors.
• Natural rubber and zinc oxide – form the adhesive base for skin attachment.

When people choose it

This warming action increases local skin stimulation and is often chosen by people who enjoy heat‑based options after physical strain, prolonged sitting, gardening, or exposure to cold weather. The patch format is practical because it stays in place and provides a steady effect over many hours, unlike creams that need repeated application.

• After physical strain or exercise
• During prolonged sitting
• After gardening or outdoor work
• When exposed to cold weather

Cautions & important notes

Because pepper patches can feel quite intense, it is wise to start with caution, especially on sensitive skin. Do not apply to irritated or damaged skin, and remove it sooner if the burning becomes too strong. If your skin is reactive, or if you are unsure whether a heating plaster is suitable for you, ask a pharmacist or healthcare professional before use.
