Turmeric (Curcuma Longa) is a common natural ingredient that is used in beauty and skincare products. It has been used in traditional medicinal and culinary practices for centuries due to its antiseptic and antifungal properties. Turmeric has gained popularity in recent years as a natural cosmetic ingredient in the beauty and skincare world, due to its natural health benefits and plethora of beauty enhancing and nourishing skin benefits. Turmeric extract or turmeric oleoresin is obtained from the rhizomes of the plant which are dried and then ground to a powder. The powder is then boiled in water to extract the pigment, which gives turmeric its vivid yellow color. This extract is then used as a natural coloring agent in cosmetics and skincare products.
