Reviews

— Kennedy T. (5/5)

Sage - Botanical

"Love it"

— Vinessa (5/5)

Makes great swirls. . .

"Really love Tumeric for many reasons. . . but in CP soap you get this unbelievably natural orange color that looks so lovely against a light or white base, it's just awesome :-) Makes an excellent additive and I'm glad WSP carries it. . . good quality."

— Kendra (5/5)

Pretty color

"A little goes a long way. Use it in my Florida Sunshine soap as I like to use natural colorants."

— Jan (5/5)

Tumeric a proven anti inflammatory

"Tumeric is a wonderful addition to soap when a yellow-orange color is needed. It not only colors the soap, but it also adds the wonderful anti inflammatory properties that Tumeric is famous for. People take Tumeric to prevent cancer and I am sure that using it externally is also somewhat protective."

— Jane (5/5)

Love the color it produces.

"I was looking for a more natural product to color my soaps. This is perfect as I can adjust the color. Very little is a soft yellow and the more you add the darker yellow or orange it gets. Mixes well with soap base and EO's. I love how my lemongrass soap turned out, its so pretty."

Q&A

Can I use this is a foaming bath whip scrub ?: Yes, turmeric powder can be used in foaming bath whip scrubs. We recommend using a small amount, as turmeric can easily stain the skin and other surfaces.
I'm using your crystal clear shower gel and can I use the powder tumeric and will it mix well or separate? How much do I use for 16 oz of base..Can I use both the extract and powder?What is the difference between the powder and the extract?: I do not advise you to use this product in the crystal clear shower gel because it will sink to the bottom. You can use the turmeric extract in the base. The difference is one is in powder form and the other is a extract that comes in liquid form
can this product be used in face scrubs: Yes, this can be used in face scrubs. We recommend using a small amount, as turmeric can easily stain the skin and other surfaces.
can this be use in a body wash or lotion: You can use this in either, but it may stain the skin. It is more likely to stain the skin or clothing when in a leave on product such as a lotion.
Can you use this in bath bombs: This will likely stain bath tubs and the skin.
