Performance & Formulation Insights for AccessCARE Phyto Turmeric Gel

How Bio-Fermentation Unlocks Turmeric’s Potential

AccessCARE Phyto Turmeric Gel leverages a sophisticated fermentation process in which Lactobacillus metabolizes Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) root. Fermentation transforms Turmeric’s potent yet poorly absorbed curcuminoids into smaller, more bioavailable compounds that can more readily penetrate the skin. The result is a notable increase in anti-inflammatory and antioxidant efficacy compared to standard turmeric extracts. Additionally, fermentation generates a matrix of beneficial postbiotics—including organic acids, peptides, and natural moisturizing factors (NMFs)—to hydrate the skin, support a balanced microbiome, and reinforce the skin barrier.

Formulation Guidelines for Optimal Performance

Supplied as a user-friendly, water-soluble gel, this active integrates seamlessly into serums, emulsions, and gel-based systems. For best performance, add AccessCARE Phyto Turmeric Gel during the cool-down phase below 40°C (104°F). It is stable across a skin-friendly pH of 4.0–7.0. Use at 1–5% depending on the desired effect. It pairs exceptionally well with calming and hydrating co-actives such as Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, and Ceramides for synergistic soothing, hydration, and barrier support.

Key Formulation Benefits

  • Superior Soothing Action: Enhanced bioavailability of fermented curcuminoids drives rapid, potent anti-inflammatory effects to calm visible redness and irritation.
  • Enhanced Bioavailability: Fermentation breaks down actives into smaller, more absorbable forms for improved efficacy versus conventional turmeric extracts.
  • Powerful Antioxidant Defense: Helps neutralize free radicals and protect against environmental aggressors to mitigate premature signs of aging.
  • Microbiome Support: Lactobacillus Ferment postbiotics help maintain a balanced skin microflora and strengthen the skin barrier.
  • Intense Hydration: Naturally produced moisturizing factors bind water to the skin, delivering deep and lasting hydration.
  • Excellent Formulation Compatibility: Easy-to-use, water-soluble gel format works across diverse systems and with common soothing & hydrating actives.
