What is Turmeric Extract?
Turmeric extract is derived from the root of the turmeric plant (Curcuma longa), which is native to Southeast Asia. It is known for its vibrant orange color and its use in traditional medicine, particularly in Ayurveda. In skincare, turmeric extract is appreciated for its powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties.
