Popular questions
Is curcumin the same as turmeric?
No—curcumin is the main yellow pigment extracted from turmeric and used as the food color E100, while turmeric is the whole spice/root containing curcumin and other components.
What is turmeric curcumin good for?
As a food additive (E100), it’s used to give foods a yellow–orange color and can help protect color by limiting oxidation; health uses are outside its approved role as a colorant.
How much curcumin per day?
The acceptable daily intake for curcumin (E100) is 0–3 mg per kg body weight per day—about 210 mg/day for a 70 kg adult—from all dietary sources; higher supplement doses fall outside food-additive use.

It’s a coloring agent that imparts a yellow–orange hue to foods and can help stabilize color against oxidation; it’s not approved for disease prevention or treatment.
Why is lanolin bad for skin?
It isn’t inherently bad—lanolin is a strong occlusive moisturizer—but a small number of people develop contact allergy (often to wool alcohols) or find it too heavy and pore‑clogging. Highly purified/medical‑grade lanolin lowers the risk of irritation.
What is lanolin made of?
A complex mixture of waxy esters of long‑chain fatty acids and sterols (e.g., cholesterol/lanosterol), plus some free sterols and alcohols; it contains no triglycerides. It’s purified from the natural grease on sheep’s wool.
Is lanolin safe for baby?
Medical‑grade lanolin used on nipples for breastfeeding is generally considered safe for infants to ingest in trace amounts, but avoid if there’s a known wool/lanolin allergy. As a food additive (E913), permitted uses lead to very low exposure and are considered safe by regulators.
Is lanolin good for your skin?
Yes—lanolin is an effective emollient that reduces water loss and helps soothe and repair dry, chapped skin. A minority of people may experience contact dermatitis or breakouts.
Is lanolin safe?
As a food additive (E913), it’s authorized in the EU for specific uses (e.g., glazing/release) and is considered safe at permitted levels with minimal dietary exposure. Individuals with known lanolin/wool allergy should avoid skin contact.
