Ginseng hydroglycerin root extract
Price range: € 6,45 through € 10,08
Ginseng extract is a popular cosmetic ingredient known for its anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, skin-whitening, and moisturizing properties. It works by providing antioxidants to protect against environmental damage, boosting collagen production, inhibiting melanin formation, and improving skin hydration by forming a protective film and reducing water loss. Ginseng extract also has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, making it beneficial for acne-prone skin. Ginseng extract delivers beneficial compounds called ginsenosides. These active ingredients help regulate enzymes responsible for collagen and elastin degradation, while also influencing pathways that lead to melanin production. It is also a great toner and facial freshener. It is found in various cosmetic products, including creams, serums and masks.
INCI: Aqua (and) Glycerin (and) Panax Ginseng root Extract
Ginseng is basically a nutritious herb belonging to the 11 species of slow growing perennial plants of the family Araliaceae. It is a medicinal plant with fleshy roots and flourishes in Siberia, Northern China and Korea. Tropical ginseng, belonging to the species Panax vietnamensis, is also found in Vietnam. Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) belongs to the same family but not the same genus like true ginseng.
-
Ginsenosides: These are the most well-known and studied active components of ginseng. They are triterpene saponins that differ in their sugar side chains and include types such as protopanaxadiol (PPD) and protopanaxatriol (PPT). Ginsenosides are responsible for many of the plant’s pharmacological actions. They protect the skin from environmental damage like UV rays and pollution, preventing the degradation of collagen and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Ginseng Polysaccharides: (including acidic polysaccharides) These complex carbohydrates have been shown to have immune-boosting effects.
-
Gintonin: A recently identified component, gintonin is a glycolipoprotein complex that possesses unique physicochemical properties and contributes to the plant’s overall health benefits.
-
Essential Oils & Fatty Acids: These are also present in ginseng and contribute to its health-promoting properties.
-
Peptides & Amino Acids: These nitrogen-containing compounds are found in ginseng and are part of its nutritional profile.
-
Vitamins & Minerals: Ginseng contains various vitamins, including pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), ascorbic acid (C) and minerals, contributing to its nutritional value.
-
Flavonoids & Phenolic Compounds: These compounds are known for their antioxidant properties and are important contributors to ginseng’s overall activity.

Benefits
- Anti-Aging & Antioxidant: Ginseng contains antioxidants that combat free radicals from pollution and UV exposure, helping to slow down the skin aging process.
- Promotes Collagen & Elasticity: It stimulates the production of collagen, a protein crucial for skin firmness, elasticity, and resilience, which helps reduce wrinkles.
- Skin Brightening: Ginsenosides in ginseng inhibit the processes involved in melanin (pigment) formation, leading to a whitening or brightening effect on the skin. It helps reduce black spots on the face.
-
Skin Whitening: The extract can inhibit tyrosinase and other signaling pathways involved in melanin production, leading to a skin-whitening effect.
- Treatment of Dark Circles: Reduces puffiness of the eyes and lightens under-eye dark circles.
- Hydration / Moisturization: Polysaccharides and amino acids found in ginseng help the skin retain moisture by forming a protective film and reducing transepidermal water loss.
- Anti-Inflammatory: Certain ginsenosides can help reduce inflammation in the skin, potentially alleviating conditions like redness, helping with conditions like atopic dermatitis, acne, and reducing skin puffiness.
- Antibacterial: Studies have shown ginseng to be effective against Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria involved in acne, making it useful for acne-prone skin.
- Treatment of Skin Diseases: Incomplete skin metabolism contributes to skin problems like acne, eczema and rough skin. Ginseng is effective in this regard as it gets absorbed by the skin very quickly and improves subcutaneous vascular circulation. Regular intake of ginseng can help you get rid of these problems, making the skin bright and cheerful.
- Improves Complexion Ginseng roots and leaves are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, which are good for overall skin health. They metabolize skin cells and facilitate the elimination of dead skin cells to produce healthy new skin. Ginseng extract is particularly great for refining and rehydrating the skin. It regenerates skin cells by increasing oxygenation. It also improves blood circulation and is a great blood detoxifier. All these factors contribute to a healthier and brighter complexion. Topical use of ginseng leaves can keep your skin healthy and glowing.

Skin Firming: By promoting collagen and improving the skin’s water content and elasticity, ginseng extract helps maintain a firm and youthful appearance.
