The extract

The Science and Story of Panax Ginseng Root Extract

Botanical Identity: Our *Panax Ginseng Root Extract* is precisely what it sounds like—an extract derived from the root of the *Panax ginseng* plant. Often recognized in the market by trade names such as Ginseng, Korean Ginseng, or Red Ginseng, Formulate Labs provides this ingredient under its official INCI name to ensure clarity and adherence to industry standards, offering a pure extract rather than a proprietary blend.

Dual mechanism: *Panax Ginseng Root Extract* acts as a multi-target botanical active to support skin resilience and appearance. It helps mitigate the visible effects of oxidative stress by scavenging reactive oxygen species and helps soothe the skin by modulating the NF-κB signaling pathway. Cosmetically, it supports skin firmness and structural integrity by downregulating MMP-1, an enzyme responsible for breaking down Type I collagen. For skin brightening, it helps promote a more even-looking skin tone by inhibiting tyrosinase and MITF expression, key regulators in melanogenesis.

Use levels: Our *Panax Ginseng Root Extract*, provided as a 5% hydroglycerin stock, is recommended for use at concentrations ranging from 0.5% to 5.0% in both leave-on and rinse-off cosmetic formulations.

Market context: *Panax Ginseng Root Extract* is a versatile active that can be positioned to tap into several market trends. It can be leveraged as a premium "elixir of youth" for high-performance anti-aging and skin rejuvenation, drawing on its rich history in Hanbang (traditional Korean medicine). It can also be marketed as an energizing and revitalizing ingredient for dull or fatigued skin, or as an adaptogenic botanical offering multi-target benefits like protection from environmental stressors, reduction in the appearance of redness, and support for a resilient skin barrier.

Pricing context: While public B2B pricing for standardized cosmetic liquid extracts is limited, unformulated dry powder *Panax Ginseng Root Extract* typically ranges from $5.50/kg to $34.00/kg, depending on ginsenoside standardization and extraction methods. Formulate Labs offers its liquid *Panax Ginseng Root Extract* at a competitive price ladder: 500g for $78.00, 1kg for $120.00, and 17kg for $102.00/kg, reflecting its proven efficacy and premium positioning.

Why formulators reach for it

Science-backed cosmetic positioning.

Anti-Aging & Firming*
Clinical data confirms its ability to support skin's natural collagen and improve elasticity by regulating matrix metalloproteinases, reducing the appearance of fine lines.
Brightening & Tone Correction
Inhibits melanin-related pathways to promote a brighter, more even-toned complexion.
Soothing & Barrier Support
Helps manage blemish-prone skin and reinforces the skin barrier by increasing filaggrin, a key structural protein.
Adaptogenic Protection
Acts as a potent adaptogen, helping to mitigate the visible effects of oxidative stress by scavenging reactive oxygen species and supporting overall skin resilience.
