Turmeric Leaf Extract – Benefits, Side Effects & Uses

by ThankMeNow Editors on Sep 10, 2025
Turmeric Leaf Extract (Curcuma Longa Leaf Extract or similar) is a water-soluble botanical active derived from the leaves, generally milder than the root extract, containing leaf polyphenols and light antioxidants, primarily valued for its comforting feel and gentle antioxidant support. This extract is suitable for most skin types seeking gentle comfortand can be easily integrated into AM/PM routines within serums or moisturisers. Due to its botanical source, individuals with botanical or essential oil sensitivities should perform a patch test. Consistent use over several weeks, paired with moisturiser and daily SPF, is needed to observe benefits in skin soothing and antioxidant resilience.
