The colour of a sunrise, our golden Turmeric Essential Oil is a culinary delight. It may be used a drop at a time or in line with fresh or dried root to dazzle your dishes, swoon your smoothies with its tangy-spicy surprise.
In soothing skin care serums and cleansers, it cools and calms redness and may help improve the appearance of fine lines, scars, and skin imperfections associated with wise, overexposed, or blemish prone skin. Richly pigmented, so a drop will do and it may be best to use Turmeric Essential Oil at night to let the yellow-orange glow absorb before morning.
"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
