In cosmetics, turmeric extract is primarily used as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, flavor additive, and pigment. It is most commonly used in skin care products as there is a lot of evidence that it has antioxidant properties. It is also considered the first choice for preventing and treating a range of skin conditions such as psoriasis, acne, wounds, burns, eczema, sunburn, and preventing aging.

Turmeric extract has also been shown to work synergistically with bromelain, another natural anti-inflammatory ingredient. You can find this ingredient in personal care products like body washes, facial moisturizers, cleansers, anti-aging serums, sunscreens, bath oils, baby products, bubble baths, weight loss creams, and tanning creams.

Turmeric extract is non-toxic and non-irritating and can be safely used in cosmetic processing products.
