Hale, hearty, and glowing golden, Turmeric Essential Oil is a potent CO2 extract distilled from the Curcuma longa root. This unique process captures the full spectrum of lipophilic compounds, pigments, and aromatic molecules—far more than standard powdered turmeric—creating a deeply nourishing, versatile oil for skin, culinary, and aromatic use.
Rich in natural antioxidants and vibrant pigments, this turmeric oil delivers a warm, sweet-woody aroma with subtle hints of tangy spice—an essence as golden as a sunrise.

Aromatic & Cultural Lore
The color of a sunrise, Turmeric Essential Oil evokes warmth, vitality, and wellness. Traditionally celebrated in Ayurveda, it is associated with healing, clarity, and luminous energy.
“Each spice has a special day to it. For turmeric it is Sunday, when light drips fat and butter-colored into the bins to be soaked up glowing, when you pray to the nine planets for love and luck.”
~ Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, The Mistress of Spices
