Panax Ginseng Root Extract
Harness the revitalizing power of Panax Ginseng Root Extract, supplied as a standard or concentrated hydroglycerin stock. Rich in adaptogenic polysaccharides and triterpene saponins, including ginsenosides like Rb1 and Compound K, this botanical active is distinct from general 'Ginseng' trade names, offering targeted cosmetic benefits for skin resilience and radiance.
Root of the *Panax ginseng* plant
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 Standard or Concentrated 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.
