What is Turmeric Extract?
Turmeric extract comes from the root-like rhizome of Curcuma longa, a ginger-family plant. Its key compound, curcumin, is a polyphenol with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. A healthy, calm scalp is the foundation hair grows from, so in Xtressé turmeric extract provides antioxidant support for the hair and scalp.
How it supports hair growth*
Calms the scalp environment.
Curcumin has anti-inflammatory properties that help keep the scalp calm and balanced, the conditions follicles need to keep growing.
Defends follicles from oxidative stress.
As an antioxidant, curcumin helps protect follicle cells from the oxidative stress that can disrupt the hair cycle.
Concentrated for results.
The spice is only about 3% curcumin, so an extract delivers far more of the compound behind turmeric's scalp benefits.
