Benefits of using Curcumin over Turmeric in skin care

1. Purity & Potency: Curcumin is the powerhouse
Curcumin is the main bioactive compound responsible for turmeric’s anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and brightening properties.Turmeric contains only 2–5% curcumin, while the rest is made up of other compounds, starches, oils, and inert plant material.So if you're using turmeric extract, you're getting a very diluted dose of what actually works.

Result: You need a very large quantity of Turmeric to achieve real effects, making it far less effective and targeted than curcumin in achieving desired results.

2. Standardization & Consistency
Curcumin can be standardized to a known concentration (e.g., 95% pure), ensuring predictable results.
Turmeric extract, especially in natural or homemade form, varies wildly in strength depending on:
1.Source of turmeric
2.Growing conditions
3.Extraction method
Result: Curcumin gives consistent performance in clinical skincare, whereas turmeric extracts are unreliable.

3. Fewer Sensory & Formulation Issues
Turmeric extract:
1.Has a strong smell
2.Stains skin and clothes
3.Can cause irritation or sensitization in some people
Curcumin:
1.Can be transformed in colorless or encapsulated forms
2.Has neutral odor
3.Can be stabilized and delivered precisely (e.g., in nanoparticles or micelles)
Result: Curcumin is easier to use in elegant, non-staining skincare formulations that consumers prefer.

4. Backed by Science & Clinical Data
Curcumins have been studied extensively for a close to 11 key skin care benefits like , skin brightening , anti-acne , marks & scar healing , protection from UV rays , De-tanning & removing sunburns strenghtening skin barrier , anti-aging , anti-oxidant protection , anti-inflammatory action , anti-bacterial action & also ingesting for different skin benefits
Turmeric extract, while used traditionally, has far less clinical research and is often considered a folk remedy rather than a precision active.
Result: Curcumin is a science-backed active, trusted by dermatologists and formulators for targeted use.

5. Advanced Delivery Possible Only with Curcumin
Turmeric extract is a complex mixture and difficult to fit into high-performance delivery systems.
Curcumin, being a defined molecule, can be: Encapsulated in liposomes, hydrogels, SLNs, or micelles Delivered via patches or serums in controlled doses Stabilized against oxidation, light, and pH
Result: Curcumin can be part of high-tech, effective skincare. Turmeric extract can’t match that level of performance.

Why curcumin is not used in skin care despite its miraculous properties ?

Despite the fact that curcumin is considered a miracle skin care active, it's not commonly used in skin care products on account of the following reasons

1. Poor skin permeability – Curcumin has low penetration through the outer layers of the skin to reach the deeper tissues. Hence, most of the curcumin stays on the surface of the skin and doesn’t reach the layers where it needs to work — like the dermis, where inflammation, pigmentation, or collagen production occur. This limits its effectiveness in skin care.

2. Poor skin retention – Skin retention refers to how long a compound stays in the skin after it’s applied — especially in the layers where it needs to act (like the epidermis or dermis). Even if an active penetrates the skin, it needs to stay long enough in the skin to be effective. Given curcumin’s low skin retention, it limits its efficacy in its current form.

3. Inconsistent release – When curcumin is included in a cream, gel, or serum, it must be gradually and predictably released from that formula onto the skin’s surface and into deeper layers. However, with curcumin the release rate is uneven, often too fast, too slow, or unstable. This means the skin doesn’t get a steady dose over time. Color and staining the skin at higher levels can be added here in place of this point.

Because of these 3 key issues, curcumins are unable to deliver the expected efficacy in skincare despite their miraculous properties.

New technology Curcumie 25X - how its works

Curcumin is not used in the skin care industry today despite its miraculous properties, because it doesn’t penetrate well into the skin, has low skin retention and inconsistent release in the skin.

To solve these problems the new breakthrough technology Curcumie25X uses :

An optimized mix of natural solubilisers to facilitate molecular level dissolution which reduces skin's barrier resistance and allows better penetration.
The technology forms microemulsions that increases the curcumin's skin permeability & retention.
Curcumie 25X ensures sustained release of curcumin into the skin ensuring better retention in the skin and superior efficacy.

Curcumie25X significantly improves efficacy of curcumin by solving for the fundamental issues that limit the efficacy of Curcumin and Turmeric in skincare.

New technology Curcumie 25X - Why it is superior

By solving for the fundamental issues that limit the efficacy of curcumin and turmeric in skincare, the new technology has unlocked much superior formulations that can match or beat the best skin care actives in the market
It is superior because of the following reasons:
1. It has 10X higher concentration of curcumins
2. It has 5X better absorption into the skin
3. It delivers 25X better efficacy.
