What is turmeric root extract?
Turmeric root extract is derived from a common spice found in kitchen cupboards, commonly known as turmeric. It has gained popularity in skincare formulations in recent years. That’s because this bright yellow ingredient has a number of benefits for the skin. Not only does it soothe the redness and irritation that many people with sensitive skin are prone to. It can also help people with acne-prone skin by regulating the skin’s natural sebum production, making it easier to fight acne or breakouts. You’ll find plenty of antioxidants and skin-lightening abilities to boost your overall glow.
