TETRAHYDRO CURCUMINIODS

Description

Tetrahydrocurcumin is a hydrogenated form of curcumin, which results from the reduction of the β-diketone group of curcumin. This reduction produces a compound with enhanced antioxidant properties, which is less prone to oxidation compared to curcumin itself. It is often used in cosmetics and skincare products due to its ability to brighten skin, reduce pigmentation, and provide anti-aging effects.

INCI: Tetrahydrocurcumin
