"Turmeric Powder " COMMENTS:  I purchased this for bath bombs to help produce a natural orange color. My end product came out more of a bright lemon color. It was a beautiful color, but not really what I was going for for an orange and grapefruit scented bath bomb. I may have used too much since it produced a very strong color and it was no where near the orange color in the description photo. I did notice when I sprayed my dry bath bomb ingredients with witch hazel that it immediately turned a bright almost neon orange color when it became wet but then mixed in just fine with no issues and turning yellow again when completely mixed together. This dispersed nicely in the tub and turned the water bright yellow. It didn’t leave a ring around the tub and didn’t stain my skin or tub at all. I would definitely use this again but not as strong and probably for a different scented bath bomb.

"Love the color it produces." COMMENTS:  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.

CC Questions And Answers

"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?" Click Here To View 1 answer(s) Posted By: Patty   |   December 17, 2024 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer 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   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: December 19, 2024 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

"Does this powder stain when used in soap? I made some soap before with tumeric powder before and I didn’t have good results. It lathered yellow and it stained towels. How can I fix that? " Click Here To View 1 answer(s) Posted By: Chardonea   |   May 09, 2021 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer Turmeric can stain when used in soap. Using less may help eliminate this problem, but it does naturally tend to stain light surfaces even in small amount.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: May 12, 2021 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

"I used 1 Tbsp. of turmeric in a 4 lbs. of cold process soap. It was a beautiful orange color and it was well mixed. upon curing it did fade but still a nice orange. But the bars looked speckled. They look great but should they be speckled? " Click Here To View 1 answer(s) Posted By: Gail    |   February 06, 2019 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer Turmeric can speckle in your product because it does not completely dissolve. You can infuse the powder in an oil. This will still give you the color but without the powder settling in your soap.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: February 07, 2019 (1) Found this helpful. Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

"Is this turmeric food grade?" Click Here To View 1 answer(s) Posted By: Jeremy   |   December 30, 2014 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer While some of our products may be food grade our repackaging facility and warehouse do not meet the FDA standards for a food repackaging facility. Since these products are repackaged in the same facility as products that are not safe to ingest there is a high rick of cross contamination. Therefore we do not recommend the use of our products in any food preparation whatsoever.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: December 31, 2014 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

"Can this be used in a face mask in small quantities?" Click Here To View 2 answer(s) Posted By: Kimberly   |   January 31, 2014 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer In CP & HP Soap it is recommended to use 1 - 3% of your base. Because the product can stain your skin when too much is used I would recommend to use this product in no more then 3% of your base. I would start with 1% and test the product first before adding more of the Turmeric Powder.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: February 04, 2014 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

It’s widely used as a skin exfoliant and improves skin’s texture and It can help with inflammatory skin conditions, such as acne, dry skin, psoriasis and eczema. That being said, use a small amount, it does stain my hands when I put it on, nothing soap and water doesn't take care of, just something you need to be aware of.   Posted By: Heather   |   Date: February 04, 2014 Was this answer helpful?

"Can i use this in a lotion? and if yes, how much should i use? thanks :-)" Click Here To View 2 answer(s) Posted By: Denise    |   September 21, 2013 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Hello, WSP only recommends using this product in cold process or hot process soap at a 1-3% ratio based on your total batch weight. I would not recommend using it in lotion because if you use too much it can stain the skin. Thank you for your question Erin   Posted By: Erin   |   Date: September 23, 2013 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No

Staff Answer Some natural colorants may give a grainy feel to lotions and may discolor skin or clothing, so I would suggest not using them in products other than soap.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: September 24, 2013 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No
