All X-Factor Pepper Sprays are made from the highest quality pepper. When you purchase an X-Factor pepper spray you are getting a spray that is only days old because we don't make mass quantities that sit on a shelf for 6 months to a year degrading the chemical in the pepper which gives it it's hotness and protects you. Other companies put EXP dates on pepper spray and can make them any date they want. They also do not offer any guarantees. X-Factor, on the other hand, gurantees the quality and potiency of our product. We want to give you a great product that we can back with our name so when you recieve the pepper spray it will be no more than 30 days old. We carry other pepper sprays to give cutomers a wide variety to choose from, and to prove why X-Factor is one of the best pepper sprays on the market. People have asked us what is the SHU of the product, what is the OC % of the product because they are led to believe that is what matters in a pepper spray. So to answer those questions, we can take cheap pepper make it 2 million shu 20 % oc but that isn't going to give you a quality spray that will hold it's punch for 3 to 4 years on small cans and 5-8 on larger units. The pepper quality is what matters! We don't import pepper dust or peppers from outside the USA like 99% of the companies do today. We purchase all of our product from the United States and also make the pepper spray right in Florida. We know the quality and know what we are selling to our customers. If you would like to view our certificate of analysis on any of our pepper sprays please email us and we will fax that to you.  The SHU of our consumer pepper spray is 180,000 ONH which is a very very hot high grade pepper spray.
