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.

Frequently Asked Questions About AccessCARE Phyto Turmeric Gel

The key difference is fermentation. By fermenting Turmeric with Lactobacillus, the active curcuminoids are broken down into smaller, more easily absorbed molecules. This enhances anti-inflammatory and antioxidant power while creating additional hydrating, microbiome-supporting postbiotics.

Use at 1% to 5% of total formula weight, depending on the desired level of efficacy.

The fermentation and extraction process significantly reduces the strong color associated with raw turmeric, making staining far less likely. As with any natural extract, test for color stability in the final formulation.

Yes. It is designed to soothe inflammation and calm redness, making it ideal for sensitive, irritated, and reactive skin types.

It remains stable and performs best between pH 4.0 and 7.0, aligning with most skin care applications.

Absolutely. It pairs well with Niacinamide for calming and barrier support, with Hyaluronic Acid for enhanced hydration, and with Ceramides for comprehensive barrier repair.
