Turmeric Extract

Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root ExtractAntioxidant

Curcumin-bearing root extract. Strong antioxidant in lab; staining yellow-orange in formulation is the practical limit.

What it does

Turmeric root extract is rich in curcumin and curcuminoids, polyphenols with strong antioxidant activity in vitro. The practical limit on topical use is the bright yellow-orange color, which can stain skin temporarily and clothing semi-permanently. Used in small percentages within a formula. Tetrahydrocurcumin is a colorless derivative used to deliver the antioxidant activity without the staining.

Also known as
