Why Curcumin?
It’s steeped in ancient wisdom, yet backed by modern-day science. Trusted by generations and approved by rigorous lab testing, Curcumin is the key to unlocking your best skin yet.
Compound-rich, it boasts benefits that go more than skin deep. Nourishing your body from the inside out, Curcumin truly is a miracle remedy and here’s why…
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY: Curcumin’s anti-inflammatory[1] properties are linked to the calming of irritation internally and externally. By soothing flare-ups and redness, the spice extract makes way for a clearer complexion. Its powerful compounds have also been shown to reduce joint pain & swelling[2].
AIDS REPAIR: Curcumin’s restorative properties contribute to the extract’s ability to accelerate the healing process. This natural remedy may also prevent scar formation, playing a part in the regeneration of muscle following wound infliction[3] and acne breakouts.
ANTI-AGING: Curcumin demonstrates anti-aging capabilities, supporting and fortifying the skin’s matrix. By boosting collagen production[4] it restores suppleness to the skin and reduces UV-induced sagging, fine lines, and wrinkles[5].
PROTECTS AGAINST DAMAGE: A well-known antioxidant-rich extract, Curcumin protects cells by scavenging harmful free-radicals[6]. Shielding from environmental stressors such as UV-rays, Curcumin can potentially protect against, and reverse, damage.
BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS: Curcumin contains bioactive compounds[7] that possess health-promoting properties. Its disease-fighting abilities may reduce the impact of chronic illnesses, such as Alzheimer’s[8], cancer[9] & cardiovascular disease[10].
BRIGHTENS & BALANCES SKIN: Curcumin controls excessive sebum secretion[11] and regulates oil production for balanced skin. With regular application, the spice extract has been proven to visibly brighten complexions in as little as 3 weeks[12].
COGNITIVE FUNCTION: Curcumin supports cognitive function, learning, and memory. It has been shown to boost brain-derived neurotrophic levels, which have the potential to protect against brain disease[13] and alleviate depression[14].
SUPPORTS DIGESTION: Curcumin promotes healthy digestion by decreasing inflammation[15] in the gut. Its anti-fungal properties protect against certain bacteria and reinforce the stomach lining to shield against irritation[7].
ORGAN HEALTH: Curcumin contributes to the optimal functioning of organs by playing a part in the body’s disease protecting processes. It can suppress carcinogens in the liver[3] and reverse diet-induced damage[16]. Curcumin further promotes heart health by potentially inhibiting the onset of atherosclerosis[3].
IMMUNE FUNCTION: Curcumin helps to maintain balance in the body’s immune system. With evidence that supports its ability to downregulate and prevent inflammatory substances, Curcumin has the potential to treat immune disorders[17].
