Organic Turmeric Essential Oil

Native to Southern Asia, turmeric is especially prevalent in India, where it is prized for its many properties (as a spice, food preservative, colouring agent, cosmetic and medicinal herb). Part of the ginger family, it was mostly used as a dye for its golden yellow colour. Commonly used in Ayurvedic medicine and to treat skin diseases, turmeric has been the subject of many studies around the world to better identify its dietary and medicinal properties. From a cosmetic perspective, its antioxidant and anti-ageing properties improve the complexion. Its pleasant odour adds a powdery touch to homemade beauty products.
