Golden Root, Rhizome-Distilled
$32.68$29.61Save 9%
Turmeric essential oil is steam-distilled from the dried rhizomes of Curcuma longa, the golden ginger-family root prized in curries and rituals alike. The result is warm, earthy, and gingery, with a woody-spicy depth far more refined than the dusty scent of ground turmeric powder.
Concentrated, not colored: distillation captures Curcuma longa's aromatic turmerones rather than its pigment, so this oil scents blends without staining the way raw turmeric powder does.
Verified purity standard: every bottle is 100% pure and undiluted turmeric essential oil, backed by our published Certificate of Analysis.
Nine sizes available: from a 0.5 oz sampling bottle up to 400 lbs for formulators and bulk manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this turmeric essential oil pure? ▾
Yes. Every bottle is bottled 100% pure and undiluted turmeric essential oil steam-distilled from Curcuma longa rhizomes, with no fillers or synthetic additives. You can review the full results in our published Certificate of Analysis before you buy or reorder.
Is turmeric essential oil the same as turmeric powder or turmeric root extract? ▾
No. This oil is steam-distilled specifically from Curcuma longa rhizomes to capture its aromatic turmerones, not the pigment-rich compounds found in ground turmeric spice or culinary extracts. It scents beautifully without the golden staining associated with raw turmeric powder.
What does turmeric essential oil smell like, and what does it blend with? ▾
It opens warm, earthy, and gingery, with a fresh brightness up top that settles into a woody-spicy base. It pairs especially well with ginger, sweet orange, ylang ylang, and sandalwood in diffuser blends and handmade perfumery.
How do I dilute turmeric essential oil for skin use? ▾
For topical use, dilute turmeric essential oil at 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil such as jojoba or sweet almond oil, roughly 3 to 12 drops per ounce of carrier. Always patch test on a small area first and discontinue if irritation occurs.
What sizes does turmeric essential oil come in? ▾
We offer nine sizes of turmeric essential oil, starting at 0.5 oz for sampling and scaling up through 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 oz, then wholesale pails and drums at 5 lbs, 25 lbs, and 400 lbs for larger production needs.
Does turmeric essential oil get cheaper per ounce in larger sizes? ▾
Yes. Per-ounce cost falls steadily as size increases, and our largest 400 lb size works out to less than half the per-ounce price of the smallest 0.5 oz bottle, making bulk sizes a meaningful savings for frequent users and formulators.
Which size of turmeric essential oil should I choose? ▾
The 0.5 oz or 1 oz bottles suit newcomers testing the aroma in a diffuser. Regular home users making soap, candles, or skincare typically reach for 2 to 8 oz, while soap makers and small-batch formulators often move up to 16 oz or the 5 lb pail.
How does shipping work for turmeric essential oil orders? ▾
Orders ship within 1 to 2 business days. Bulk sizes of 5 lbs and up may require extra handling time before they leave our facility. Checkout for every size, from the smallest bottle to the largest drum, is handled through our Shopify store.
Why doesn't turmeric essential oil stain like the raw spice? ▾
Steam distillation concentrates Curcuma longa's aromatic turmerones while leaving behind the pigment responsible for turmeric powder's staining. That is why the oil can scent soap, candles, and skincare with a warm, earthy note without tinting them golden the way the raw root does.
