What is Turmeric?

Turmeric is a golden-yellow root traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine for its powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. In skincare, turmeric extract helps calm irritated skin, reduce redness, brighten uneven skin tone, and support a healthier-looking complexion.

Its active compound, curcumin, is responsible for many of its skin-loving benefits, making turmeric a favourite ingredient for acne-prone, sensitive and dull skin.
