Turmeric CO2 Extract 5 g

Turmeric CO2 Extract as a Concentrated Ingredient for Cosmetics, Food and Natural Coloring

Turmeric CO2 Extract in a 5 g pack is produced through supercritical extraction of the rhizome, a method that preserves the maximum concentration of curcuminoids, essential oils and natural resins without the use of chemical solvents. This gentle processing technique retains the full complex of bioactive compounds naturally present in the fresh root, making the extract a highly potent raw material. This product belongs to the category of CO2 Extracts, which brings together concentrated plant extractions used across cosmetic, food and pharmaceutical manufacturing, with turmeric being one of the most versatile options in this lineup.

Global demand for turmeric CO2 extract is strongest in the food industry, where it serves as a natural coloring agent and flavor enhancer in sauces, seasonings, beverages and confectionery, as well as in the production of nutraceuticals and dietary supplements. In cosmetics, the concentrate is valued for its antioxidant activity and its ability to even out skin tone, which is why it appears in serums, facial creams, body care products and masks. The compact 5 g size is particularly suited for home-based cosmetic formulation, trial batches and laboratory testing, allowing formulators to evaluate how the extract behaves in a specific recipe before scaling up production.

In skincare formulations, turmeric extract is typically introduced during the final cool-down phase, at temperatures not exceeding 40 degrees, to protect volatile compounds and preserve antioxidant potency. Recommended usage rates generally range from 0.1 to 1 percent of the total formula weight, depending on the desired intensity and the intended purpose of the product. The extract pairs well with carrier oils, citrus and coniferous essential oils, and other CO2 concentrates, such as Sea Buckthorn CO2 Extract, which complements turmeric with fatty acids and carotenoids to boost the overall nourishing effect of a composition.

In the fragrance industry, turmeric contributes a warm, spicy note and is frequently used as a base or heart note in oriental and woody perfume compositions. In household chemistry applications, the concentrate can serve as a natural colorant for soap, candles and decorative items, though this remains a secondary use compared to cosmetics and food. For a broader antioxidant and regenerating effect, turmeric is often combined with Rosehip CO2 Extract, rich in vitamin C and tocopherols, resulting in a more balanced formula for mature or dull-looking skin.

The extract should be stored in a tightly sealed container, in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, to prevent oxidation of its active compounds and preserve its potency. When storage conditions are respected, the product retains its declared properties throughout the shelf life specified by the manufacturer. To expand the functional range of a cosmetic blend, turmeric is sometimes paired with Yarrow CO2 Extract, which adds a calming and soothing effect particularly valuable for formulas designed for sensitive or irritated skin.
