FunctionBotanical

What it is — Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract (INCI: Curcuma Longa Root Extract) is a plant-derived botanical from turmeric root, valued for its antioxidant reputation.

What it does — It is commonly used as an antioxidant-supporting, brightening-positioned botanical to give skin a fresh, conditioned look.

Typical use — It appears in serums, essences, creams and masks, often in brightening- or glow-themed formulas.

Who it suits / good to know — Suitable for most skin types. Turmeric is naturally yellow-orange and can temporarily tint very light products or stain fabric, so formulas use it at controlled levels.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: a well-tolerated botanical extract, though it can stain fabric. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.

Why we grade it Low: Low risk — well-tolerated botanical extract, though can stain fabric.
How grades are set — Risk reflects our own reading of publicly available safety data, an EWG-style reading shown at the worst-case grade we've assigned this ingredient across products. It isn't a third party's proprietary score, and it isn't medical advice. Always read the packaging and patch-test where indicated.
