Cosmetic Grade Curcumin Benefits

Anti-aging and Sun Protection

Curcumin’s molecular structure contains a diketone structure, which is a high-level conjugated planar molecule, and is a rare natural pigment with β-diketone structure in nature. Additionally, curcumin has abilities to resist oxidation, scavenge free radicals, and absorb ultraviolet rays. Therefore, curcumin is a natural cosmetic ingredient for anti-aging and sun protection.

Skin Whitening

Curcumin contains a polyphenol structure, and its skin whitening effect is the same as that of other plant polyphenols. Therefore, it can greatly inhibit tyrosinase, and reduce its activity. Also curcumin’s strong antioxidant capacity and the ability to capture free radicals are the main basis for its whitening effect.
