Turmeric

 

Botanical Name: Curcuma longa

Botanical Description: Turmeric is a perennial herb belonging to the Zingiberaceae family, native to South Asia.

Cosmetic Benefits: Turmeric extract is rich in curcumin, a polyphenol with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. It helps protect the skin from oxidative damage, reduce inflammation, and promote skin healing. Turmeric extract also has brightening properties that can help even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

Scientific Overview: Turmeric produces rhizomes, which are dried and ground to produce the vibrant yellow spice commonly used in culinary dishes and traditional medicine.

Cultivation and Harvest: Turmeric plants are cultivated in tropical regions worldwide for their rhizomes. The rhizomes are harvested when mature, typically after 7-9 months of growth, and then dried and ground.

Plant Morphology: Turmeric plants have large, lance-shaped leaves and produce spikes of small, white flowers with yellow bracts. The rhizomes are thick, knobby, and orange-yellow in color, with a warm, earthy aroma.
