Ingredient Spotlight: TURMERIC
Turmeric is a natural antioxidant, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, and anthelmintic. It can decrease UV damage and help control acne because it is anti-bacterial. It’s also is known to reduce scarring and benefit conditions like eczema and rosacea.
Modern-day scientific studies have proven that its most active compound, curcumin, has many amazing health benefits. Oxidation by free radicals is linked with accelerated aging. One way to stop this is with anti-oxidants like Vitamin C and E. Turmeric is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Curcumin penetrates the cell membrane and soothes and calms the skin.
