I've been looking into different pepper sprays. I currently have a foxlabs 2 oz flip top pepper spray. I was thinking about getting the Guardian Hi-Power pepper spray (don't confuse with regular BodyGuard or BodyGuard LE-10). This BodyGuard Hi-Power pepper spray is 3 million SHUs, 15% Pepper Spray (Oleoresin Capsicum), and 3.0% Major Capsaicinoids. I'm wondering if this high level of capsaicinoids would be relatively safe, like if I could spray myself to see what it's like or use it in self-defense without worrying about any toxicity or blistering of the soft eye tissue. The EPA recommends having a maximum of 2.0% major capsaicinoids for bear pepper spray, so I am wondering if 3.0% MC (don't confuse with OC%) would be safe for personal self-defense? First Defense is 0.2% major capsaicinoids, Fox Labs is approximately 0.67% MC, civilian Vexor (15 million SHUs for base resin) is 1.0% MC for the bottle, law enforcement Vexor is 1.45% MC, Sabre Red (don't confuse with regular Sabre) is 1.33% MC, most grizzly bear spray MC%'s are between 1.4-2.0%. Does anyone know about 3.0% MC, and what you need for damage to eyes?
Here's one site that I found the BodyGuard Hi-Power at:

Also, I found a 3 million SHU, 15% OC, 3.0% MC personal defense spray at the official UDAP bear spray website. It looks like it's the same container and stuff, just different names when it gets to the distributor:
