Here's a good video from a Canadian chilehead talking about extracts, capsaicin drops and tinctures.

Extracts are generally the concentrated oils from chile peppers.  Different methods are used to extract the oils, usually involve solvents or ketones. 
 
Capsaicin drops are made from pure refined capsaicin powder which is formulated into a neutral flavored liquid.
 
Tinctures are made by soaking chile peppers in alcohol.  The capsaicinoids leach out into the alcohol along with color and flavor of the chiles.
