Turmeric oil is the volatile fraction distilled from the turmeric rhizome, and it is not the same thing as turmeric powder or a curcumin extract. Its main constituents are the turmerones rather than the curcuminoids, so it has a different composition from the part of turmeric most research has looked at.
It is used where the aromatic fraction is wanted, and because being an oil it disperses into a fat-based product in a way the powder does not.
What it is doing in these products
It is what distinguishes Sea Buckthorn with Turmeric Oil from the plain juice. If you are looking specifically for curcumin, note that this is a different fraction of the same plant.
