Clean Within chooses Curcugen® turmeric extract as the primary component of its nutricosmetic.
FREMONT, CA: Curcugen includes an assortment of essential oils, including antimicrobial oils, as part of its nutrient-rich profile of over 200 complimentary chemicals. "Its naturally occurring polar-type resins and polysaccharides boost curcumin bioavailability," states Dr. Shavon Jackson-Michel, Director of Medical and Scientific Affairs for DolCas Biotech. Clean Within, a manufacturer of nutritional supplements, has chosen DolCas Biotech and its turmeric extract, Curcugen®, for their vegan nutricosmetic. Clear Within intended to update and reformulate its solution for clear skin from the inside out, Clear Within.
“DolCas has created Curcugen to be among the top most-concentrated, yet full-spectrum turmeric ingredients on the market, adds Michel.”
Clean Within is intended for adults of all ages who need cruelty-free skin care. Each container contains sixty vegetable capsules with vitamins and nutrients that have undergone extensive testing and research to boost skin condition. The product is available in health food stores and online.
Consumers seeking nutricosmetics may have multiple clear-skin objectives. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, Acne is the most prevalent skin disorder in the United States, affecting up to 50 million Americans annually.
Clear Within conducted a comprehensive investigation of turmeric extracts as its primary ingredient. Curcumin, the primary bioactive component of turmeric, is renowned for its antibacterial and antiseptic capabilities and capacity to manage microbial imbalances and oxidative stress.
Curcumin is becoming increasingly popular in dietary supplements. According to Innova Market Insights, supplement launches containing curcumin components increased 12.6 percent annually during the past five years (CAGR 2018-2022). In addition, in skin health (beauty from inside), curcumin had a 14 percent market share and the second-highest CAGR among the top 10 positions, at 39.5 percent.
Clear Within ultimately chose Curcugen for the reformulation of its beauty-from-within supplement for a number of pivotal reasons. "Most profound was that Curcugen boosted the bioavailability of free curcumin in our formula 39-fold," says Arrad Rahgoshay, Founder and CEO of Clear Within. "Curcugen eliminated our need to include other non-active ingredients in our formulation and freed up space in our capsules. We seized this opportunity to pack in more actives, such as detox botanical, milk thistle, and the mineral integral to skin and hormone support, zinc."
Clear Within found that Curcugen has been thoroughly examined for safety, analyzed in scientific studies, peer-reviewed, and published. In contrast to other skin solutions, some of which caused negative effects, these qualities stood out.
Curcugen is developed for a range of formulations, including both classic and new foods and beverages. Curcugen's palatability eliminates the need for masking and necessitates only mild seasoning.
“DolCas customers appreciate that Curcugen is purely plant-based, non-GMO, and free from additives, synthetic and non-turmeric bio-enhancers, and soy—for consumers with dietary sensitivities. These clean-label properties also appeal to people who make purchasing decisions based on products’ social and ethical impact.” continues Jackson-Michel.
Curcugen is made following Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). The DolCas organization includes a packaging and encapsulating service section. “Our vertical integration makes manufacturing more convenient and cost-effective. This production streamlining also promotes our mission of sustainability to minimize our environmental impact,” remarks KG Rao, President of DolCas.
“Curcugen is a great new twist on turmeric. It offers the ideal synergy with our blended botanicals and nutrients for Clear Within, which is designed for skin health,” concludes Rahgoshay.
