TetraBeauty®
TetraBeauty® – Tetrahydrocurcumins 95% developed by SRIC (Sunpure Research Incubation Centre), are group of natural compounds that originate from curcuminoids, the active ingredient found in turmeric (Curcuma longa). THCs, unlike curcumin, are colourless and do not possess the distinct yellow-orange colour commonly associated with curcumin.
Tetrahydrocurcumins (THCs) are known for their superior stability and enhanced bioavailability compared to curcumin. This makes them more effective in delivering antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin-brightening benefits. Due to their colourless nature, THCs are especially suitable for use in cosmetic and skincare formulations, where color-free solutions are often preferred. TetraBeauty® harnesses the power of THCs to provide a scientifically advanced and naturally derived solution for promoting healthy, radiant skin.
Thus suitable for stain free processing for cosmetic and personal care applications.
- Trade name : TetraBeauty®
- Botanical name : Curcuma longa
- Plant part used : Roots
- INCI name : Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane

Chemical Structure
Hydrogenation of curcumin creates THCs (White curcumin), which improves stability, reduces degradation, and enhances durability for long-lasting effectiveness. This transformation involves removing double bonds from curcumin’s chemical structure, resulting in the formation of tetrahydrocurcumin (TetraBeauty®).

Key Benefits

Anti Inflammation
This can be beneficial in managing inflammation-related conditions and supporting joint health.
Reduces Pigmentation
It has been studied for its ability to inhibit melanin synthesis, which may help reduce hyperpigmentation and dark spots.
Protection from Environmental Damage
Tetrahydrocurcumin, with its anti-inflammatory properties, may help mitigate inflammation and prevent some of the negative effects associated with environmental damage.
Antioxidant Activity
Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals, which are unstable molecules generated by environmental stressors like UV radiation, pollution, and toxins.
Clinical Study
A study in the Journal of Food Science and Technology revealed that THC effectively inhibits melanogenesis, even at low concentrations. It suppresses the process stimulated by a-MSH-induced intracellular cAMP up- regulation, suggesting its potential as a safe and efficient alternative for skin whitening in cosmetic research.In fact, THC demonstrated a significant decrease in a-MSH melanin synthesis, reaching a maximum reduction of 78.5% at a concentration as low as 0.1 lg/ml.


Curcumin, found in turmeric, has been studied for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and potential therapeutic properties. Research suggests that curcumin may have benefits for conditions such as arthritis, digestive disorders, cardiovascular disease, and neurological disorders. Tetrahydrocurcumins, being derivatives of curcumin, are also of interest in scientific investigations.
