Premium (hero product)
Heat Sculpt Firming Cream
Our premium leave-on massage cream, pairing caffeine and L-carnitine with a low-level warming system. The warmth is a sensory effect and dosed by pure capsaicin content, which is why our default sits at the bottom of the range rather than the middle.

Key Active Ingredients
How the Active Ingredients Work
This is the warming build in our body-contouring line, and the warming side is where the claim discipline has to be tightest. Levels below are our standard ODM starting point; capsicum in particular is set low on purpose and confirmed on the approved sample.
Caffeinebaseline 3% · range 2–3.5%
INCI: Caffeine. Added on the water side before emulsification. Our leave-on body cream tiers are support 1–2%, hero 2–3.5% with 3% baseline, and high-load above 3.5% up to 7%. This SKU is positioned as a premium hero, so 3% is where we build it as standard, within the 2–3.5% hero band. As with the cool version, the claim stays at appearance level: visibly firms and smooths the look of skin.
L-Carnitinebaseline 2% · range 1–5%
INCI: Carnitine. Paired with caffeine as the second named active. Our tiers are 0.5–1% for a supporting role and 1–5% baseline 2% when it is part of the headline pairing, and this page is written at 2%. The claim frame stays appearance-level at every tier; for US-facing SKUs the product name also stays in Sculpting or Firming territory.
Capsicum extractbaseline 0.005% · range 0.001–0.01% (pure capsaicin basis)
INCI: Capsicum Frutescens Fruit Extract, dosed on a pure capsaicin basis rather than as-supplied, because supplier concentrations vary widely. Our tiers on that basis are 0.001–0.01% baseline 0.005% for a light warm accent, 0.01–0.05% baseline 0.025% for warming and massage creams where heat is the main sensory story, and 0.05–0.1% for professional massage lines that need strong heat and carry small-area patch and wash-hands-after directions. This SKU is built at the light accent tier by default. For reference on why we stay low: 8% capsaicin is a prescription drug in the US.
Ginger extractsupporting ingredient
INCI: Zingiber Officinale Root Extract. Works with the capsicum on the warming side and carries the botanical story the format is usually sold on. Kept as a supporting ingredient with the level set per project. We describe it in sensory and appearance terms only and do not attach a circulation or metabolic mechanism to it.
Seaweed extractsupporting ingredient
Included as a supporting botanical, consistent with the cool version so the pair reads as one line. Level and species set per project rather than published as a headline number. If seaweed needs to be the front-of-pack hero on your brief, we quote that on a different basis.

Who This Product Is Built For
Premium positioning in Southeast Asian body care
Priced and packaged above the value tier, in tube or cylindrical bottle at 150–200g. Warming products carry a perceived-efficacy premium that supports the price point without needing stronger claims.
Two-SKU warm and cool sets
Developed alongside our Cool Sculpt Firming Cream so a brand can launch a pair off one cycle, with a consistent actives system across both.
Massage and professional channels
Where a stronger warm sensation is wanted we can move up a tier, with the small-area patch test and wash-hands-after directions that level requires.
Frequently Asked Questions
How warm does it actually feel, and can we make it stronger?
The default build uses the light accent tier, 0.001–0.01% on a pure capsaicin basis, which reads as a noticeable warmth without discomfort over a large area. We can move to 0.01–0.05% where heat is the main selling point. Above that, 0.05–0.1% is professional-line territory and comes with mandatory small-area patch and wash-hands-after directions on pack. We confirm the level on the approved sample rather than on paper.
Why is capsicum quoted on a pure capsaicin basis instead of as-supplied?
Because as-supplied capsicum extracts vary widely in strength between suppliers, so an as-supplied percentage tells you almost nothing about how warm the finished cream will be. Quoting on pure capsaicin content is the only way the number transfers between projects. We state which basis a figure refers to on every quote.
What can the warming story actually claim?
The warmth is a sensory effect and that is how we write it: a cosmetic warming product, not one for diagnosing, treating or relieving any condition. On the contouring side the claim is appearance-level, visibly firms and smooths the look of skin. Both frames hold in every market we ship to, and briefs that need more than that belong to a different regulatory route.
What is the difference between this and the cool version?
The actives system is the same, caffeine plus L-carnitine at the same tiers. The difference is the sensory layer: this one uses low-level capsicum and ginger for warmth, the cool version uses menthol for a cooling hit. Brands usually take both and let the customer pick, which is why we keep the shared parts identical.
What are the MOQ and lead time?
MOQ is 2,000–3,000 tubes per SKU and lead time is 45–55 days after sample approval. Different warming intensity versions can be sampled in the same round so you can pick on skin rather than on a spec sheet. This is our standard ODM baseline, adjustable for your target market and price point.
