T-pur99® is a high-purity tetrahydrocurcumin active ingredient developed for advanced brightening and antioxidant skincare formulations. Designed for cosmetic brands and formulators looking for visible skin performance with excellent formulation compatibility, T-pur99® combines stability, efficacy and clean beauty positioning in one multifunctional active ingredient.
As a colorless metabolite of curcumin, T-pur99® offers antioxidant and skin brightening benefits without the staining limitations commonly associated with turmeric-derived ingredients. Its strong compatibility with modern skincare systems makes it suitable for serums, creams, emulsions and targeted treatment formulations.
Tetrahydrocurcumin is the hydrogenated metabolite of curcumin, the active molecule of turmeric. Because the conjugated double bonds that give curcumin its intense yellow colour are saturated, tetrahydrocurcumin is colourless, which removes the staining limitation that keeps most turmeric-derived actives out of leave-on skin care.
T-pur99® is Azeco’s high-purity cosmetic grade of tetrahydrocurcumin. It combines antioxidant activity with support for a more even, brighter-looking skin tone, and its stability and compatibility with modern skin care systems make it suitable for serums, creams, emulsions and targeted treatments.
