Turmeric Essential Oil is a therapeutic-grade oil steam-distilled from the rhizomes of Curcuma longa (turmeric), presenting as yellow to reddish-brown. Distinctly different from Curcumin Extract — which is a polyphenol oleoresin — Turmeric Essential Oil is a volatile aromatic oil rich in turmerones (ar-turmerone, alpha-turmerone, beta-turmerone) and zingiberene. These sesquiterpene ketones deliver powerful anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and skin-brightening properties, along with a warm, spicy, earthy-woody-sweet aromatic character that is deeply familiar across South and Southeast Asian cultural contexts.
Applications:
- Skincare (anti-inflammatory formulations, skin brightening serums, hyperpigmentation treatment)
- Aromatherapy (warming, grounding, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective diffuser blends)
- Sports & Massage (anti-inflammatory warming muscle massage formulations)
- Fine Fragrance (warm, exotic spicy-earthy note in oriental and Asian-inspired fragrances)
Key Features & Benefits:
- Yellow to reddish-brown – authentic therapeutic-grade turmeric rhizome oil
- No animal substance – suitable for vegan and Halal-compliant formulations
- Rich in turmerones for anti-inflammatory and skin-brightening properties
