Panax Ginseng Flower Extract is derived from the flowers of the Panax ginseng plant, commonly known as ginseng. While ginseng is well-known for its root extracts, the flower extract also offers unique properties that can be beneficial in cosmetic and personal care products. It is used for its potential anti-aging, soothing, and revitalizing effects on the skin.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Active Components: The extract contains various bioactive compounds including ginsenosides, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds. These components contribute to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Molecular Composition: Ginsenosides in the flower extract may differ slightly from those in the root extract but still include key types such as Rb1, Re, and Rg1. Flavonoids and phenolic compounds play a role in the antioxidant activity of the extract.
Form: Available as a liquid or powder, depending on the extraction method and formulation requirements.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: Typically a pale yellow to light brown liquid or powder, depending on the concentration and processing.
Odor: Mild, herbal fragrance characteristic of ginseng flowers.
Solubility: Soluble in water and alcohol; used in various cosmetic formulations.
pH: Generally slightly acidic, though this can vary with different formulations.

Production Process:

Harvesting: Flowers of the Panax ginseng plant are collected when they are at their peak to ensure optimal potency.
Extraction: The flowers are processed to extract bioactive compounds using methods such as solvent extraction or supercritical fluid extraction.
Formulation: The concentrated extract is then incorporated into final products as either a liquid or powder, ready for use in cosmetic and personal care formulations.

Applications:

Skin Care: Incorporated into creams, serums, and masks for its potential anti-aging, soothing, and revitalizing effects. It can help enhance skin texture and radiance.

INCI:


Antioxidant agent. Ingredient that counteracts oxidative stress and prevents cell damage. Free radicals, pathological inflammatory processes, reactive nitrogen species and reactive oxygen species are responsible for the ageing process and many diseases caused by oxidation.

Skin conditioning agent. It is the mainstay of topical skin treatment as it has the function of restoring, increasing or improving skin tolerance to external factors, including melanocyte tolerance. The most important function of the conditioning agent is to prevent skin dehydration, but the subject is rather complex and involves emollients and humectants that can be added in the formulation.
