Turmeric is a flowering plant, from the Ginger root family. It can grow up to 1m tall and produces tall, white, pink or yellow flower petals. The roots resemble ginger, and grow into fleshy oblong tubes. The roots are what are ground down and heated to create the Turmeric spice. India is the world’s largest exporter of Turmeric in the world; roughly 70% of the world’s Turmeric comes from here. In India, it is often referred to as Haldi, pronounced Hal-dee and is used in curries, as a colouring agent and in skincare to increase lustre to the skin.

Does it dry your skin out? Soaps have a bad reputation for this but this is mostly exclusive to factory produced soap bars that need to use specific ingredients to reduce costs and improve efficiency. At Saabuni, our soap bars are all handmade to avoid dry patches, plus we use Babassu Oil and Almond Oil to help improve skin nourishment.

What results should I expect? I get it - Using new skincare is always a juggle at first because you're so used to one way of doing things. But with consistency, your skin will look and feel better, you've just got to stick with it.

I'm breaking out more than before, why is this? This is good! It means the soap is working. Stay consistent and your skin will start to heal and feel better.
