By Nur → Last verified 9/26/2026

What it is

Turmeric root extract, from Curcuma longa, is a botanical ingredient confirmed in beplain's Mung Bean pH-Balanced Cleansing Foam, verified independently across multiple retailer ingredient listings.

What the evidence says

Functions as an antioxidant with skin-brightening and soothing properties. Independent ingredient databases also classify it as contributing a perfuming function alongside those roles, meaning it genuinely adds to a formula's fragrance, not just a coincidental botanical mention. In beplain's cleanser, it appears within a genuinely built-out formula alongside centella asiatica, allantoin, and licorice root extract, not as a standalone treatment ingredient.

Who it's for

General antioxidant and brightening support layered into a broader formula, no specific skin type is particularly indicated.

Worth knowing
