Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root ExtractAntioxidant
A strong antioxidant in lab tests, used in tiny amounts because it stains skin and clothes bright yellow-orange.
What it does
It’s rich in curcumin, a strong antioxidant in lab tests. The catch is its bright yellow-orange color, which can stain skin for a while and clothes for much longer, so products use only a little. A colorless form, tetrahydrocurcumin, gives the antioxidant without the stain.
Also known as
curcuma longa
