About
Turmeric rhizome extracellular vesicles — a novel biotech active carrying curcuminoids for antioxidant support.
Curcuma longa rhizome vesicles are nano-sized membranous particles isolated from turmeric rhizome material (fresh juice or callus culture). They reportedly carry curcuminoids (curcumin, demethoxycurcumin), lipids, and small RNAs associated with turmeric physiology. In cosmetics they are marketed for antioxidant and soothing effects. Turmeric rhizome itself has a long food- and cosmetic-use safety record and EU CosIng listing. Plant EVs are a new cosmetic category with thin public safety data. The bright yellow pigment can transfer to skin and fabric in leave-on products.
