Pepper Spray FAQ

A compact 30 mL canister of Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) spray, with Australian sourced ingredients and a spring-loaded safety cap. It is designed to be easy to carry and simple to use for personal safety at home, work, travel or on the go.

Each canister holds 30 mL of OC content and is designed for a single deployment. Replace your canister after first use.

Each canister has a two-year product life. We recommend marking the purchase date and replacing the canister after first use or when it reaches two years old, whichever comes first.

Hold the canister with your thumb on top of the spring-loaded safety cap, flip the cap up to expose the actuator, aim, and press down firmly. See our safety cap guide for step-by-step instructions.

Laws differ across Australia, and in many states pepper spray is a prohibited weapon. We do not make blanket legality claims. Confirm current requirements with the relevant government authority or police before purchasing.

Yes. Capsicum spray, OC spray and pepper spray all describe the same thing: a spray using Oleoresin Capsicum, the natural oil from chillies and peppers, with Capsaicin as the active heat.

OC stands for Oleoresin Capsicum, the plant-based oil extracted from the Capsicum genus. It is the active ingredient in our 30 mL canister.
