Performance & Formulation Insights for AccessMOIST Turmeric

How Turmeric Root Extract Works

AccessMOIST Turmeric leverages curcumin and related curcuminoids—powerful polyphenolic antioxidants—to neutralize free radicals and help protect collagen and elastin from oxidative stress. In parallel, it helps downregulate key inflammatory pathways, visibly calming redness and irritation to support a clearer, more balanced complexion. Its tone-evening activity also helps reduce the look of dark spots for a brighter, more uniform appearance.

Formulation Guidelines

AccessMOIST Turmeric is oil-soluble and is best incorporated into the oil phase of emulsions (creams/lotions) or directly into anhydrous systems (oils/balms). To use in water-based formats, employ a suitable solubilizer. While generally heat stable, add during the cool-down phase below 40°C for maximum potency. Effective between 0.5% and 5%, it pairs well with complementary actives such as Vitamin C and E, Niacinamide, and Panthenol.
