Product Description:
Turmeric CO2 Oil is an exceptionally potent, golden-red extract obtained from the cured rhizomes of Curcuma longa using supercritical extraction. Superior to steam-distilled turmeric oil, the CO2 extraction method isolates not only the volatile turmerones (ar-turmerone, alpha-turmerone) but also heavy lipophilic curcuminoids (curcumin, demethoxycurcumin) that steam distillation cannot carry over. This results in a full-spectrum extract with superior anti-inflammatory, skin-brightening, and antioxidant properties.
