Turmeric Ferment – Benefits, Side Effects & Uses

by ThankMeNow Editors on Sep 10, 2025
Turmeric Ferment (Lactobacillus/Curcuma Longa Ferment Filtrate or similar) is a water-soluble botanical fluid created through fermentation, which enhances the bioavailability of its antioxidants and soothing metabolites, offering an elevated comforting feel and light antioxidant support. This ferment is generally well-tolerated and suitable for most skin types seeking gentle comfort, and can be used AM/PM within serums or moisturisers. As with all potent botanicals, individuals with botanical or essential oil sensitivities should perform a patch test. Consistent use over several weeks, paired with moisturiser and daily SPF, is key to achieving optimal results in skin resilience and comfort.
