Not just a staple in your kitchen – but also in your skincare routine!  A member of the ginger family and native to tropical South Asia, turmeric is a flowering perennial that has long been loved for not only its culinary but its medicinal uses.

The entire turmeric plant is edible and medicinal, but here we are only using the bright golden colored rhyzoid, or root, found at the bottom of the plant. One of the active compounds in the turmeric root- and what gives it its golden yellow color – is Curcumin. Curcumin is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.  It helps your skin naturally glow while cleansing it of impurities. Turmeric is anitfungal and antibacterial, making it perfect for people experiencing acne and breakouts. In addition, Curcumin has the ability to break up melanin clusters beneath the skin’s surface, helping with hyperpigmentation and dark marks.

In your Gozie Beauty Superfood Face Mask we use premium quality, organic, non GMO Turmeric ethically harvested from farms in India.
