The benefits of Fermented Turmeric for the skin

Inflamm'ageing characterizes a chronic inflammation that contributes to the acceleration of aging . If the phenomenon of skin inflammation is a visible defense mechanism of our body (redness, edema, spots, etc.) put in place over a short period of time to eliminate a pathogen, inflamm'ageing persists over time. Without spontaneous resolution, this inflammation remains silent (we also speak of low-level inflammation), and is not visible.

Inflamm'ageing is maintained by oxidative stress generated by our lifestyle: stress, unbalanced diet, UV rays, pollution, lack of sleep, etc. In the skin, inflamm'ageing is the cause of repeated inflammatory micro-lesions induced by inflammatory mediators. This damage gradually degrades tissues and skin components such as cells, collagen fibers, elastic fibers or the extracellular matrix of the dermis. Over time, inflamm'ageing therefore promotes the appearance of signs of aging : deepening of wrinkles, loss of density, sagging, appearance of spots.

Plant fermentation is a natural chemical phenomenon , used by humans for thousands of years, for various applications such as wine making, vegetable preservation or even the production of natural fertilizers used in particular in organic farming.

During fermentation, organic matter (the plant) is transformed. The biochemical changes that occur are based on the action of enzymes produced by microorganisms (such as yeasts, bacteria, fungi or microalgae) placed in the presence of the plant, in an environment rich in specific nutrients, and under certain conditions (temperature, pH, oxygen and time).

Thus, through the biochemical transformations that it generates, fermentation makes it possible to obtain compounds that are not found in their raw state in nature, or to amplify the expression of molecules of interest naturally present in small quantities.

Used by the cosmetic industry, fermentation offers multiple benefits:

- Better bioavailability of active molecules,
- The transformation of simple compounds into molecules of interest ,
- Amplification of the biological activity of molecules and better efficiency,
- Or even the development of new biological properties .

An ancestral practice, fermentation is what is now called white biotechnology . This field of applications aims at the sustainable production of compounds of interest on an industrial scale from renewable resources . Through the use of enzymes produced by microorganisms, fermentation is a low-energy biotechnology that is more environmentally friendly than other technologies using chemical solvents or other transformation processes.

To combat inflamm'aging, myBlend has specially selected a turmeric extract and increased its powers through biotechnology.

The myBlend fermented turmeric extract (organic plant) is the result of mastering a complex process of several stages. An initial extraction of the turmeric rhizomes made it possible to obtain a first aqueous extract, fermented in a specifically developed nutrient medium . Then the turmeric processing is completed by filtration, pasteurization and preservation stages.

This fermentation of turmeric:

- Amplifies the amount of compounds of interest such as sugars and organic acids.
- Multiplies the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of turmeric, against inflamm'aging.
- Improves the bioavailability of molecules .
- Makes it effective in maintaining the balance of the microbiota , essential for good skin health.
