Turmeric Clear Liquid Extract — Curcuma longa — Cosmetic Grade
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is one of the most celebrated botanicals in both traditional medicine and modern cosmetic science. Its primary bioactive compound, curcumin, has been extensively studied for its potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin-brightening properties. This clear liquid extract delivers the key bioactive compounds of Curcuma longa in a ready-to-use, water-soluble, crystal-clear form — without the characteristic yellow staining associated with raw turmeric — for seamless incorporation into the water phase of serums, toners, moisturizers, and brightening formulations.
Professional cosmetic ingredient — not a finished product.
Key Benefits
-
Brightening & hyperpigmentation support — curcumin inhibits tyrosinase activity and melanin synthesis; targets dark spots, uneven skin tone, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
-
Potent antioxidant protection — neutralizes free radicals and reduces oxidative stress-driven skin aging; one of the most studied antioxidant botanicals
-
Anti-inflammatory & soothing — inhibits NF-κB and pro-inflammatory cytokines; calms redness, irritation, and sensitivity in reactive and acne-prone skin
-
Antimicrobial activity — broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties support acne-prone skin formulations and contribute to preservation
-
Wound healing support — traditionally and clinically studied for its role in supporting skin repair and reducing scar formation
-
Collagen support — antioxidant activity helps protect collagen from oxidative degradation; supports skin firmness and elasticity

-
Solubility: Water-soluble; incorporate in the water phase
-
Processing temperature: Add at cool-down (below 40°C) preferred; avoid prolonged high heat
-
pH & shelf life: Refer to your supplier's Certificate of Analysis (CoA) or Technical Data Sheet (TDS) for confirmed values
