Description

Hydrolyzed Panax Ginseng Meristem Cell Extract is derived from the meristem cells of the Panax ginseng plant, a member of the Araliaceae family. This extract is hydrolyzed to enhance its bioavailability and effectiveness in skincare products. Panax ginseng, commonly known as ginseng, is valued for its traditional use in medicine and its potential benefits for the skin.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Active Compounds: The extract contains various ginsenosides, polysaccharides, and peptides. Key components include ginsenosides (such as Rb1, Rb2, Rc) and other bioactive compounds from the meristem cells.
Molecular Weight: Varies depending on the specific components, typically ranging from small peptides to larger polysaccharides.
Structure: The active compounds are primarily saponins (ginsenosides) and polysaccharides, with complex glycosidic and peptide structures that contribute to their bioactivity.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: Generally a light yellow to brown liquid or powder, depending on the formulation and concentration.
Odor: May have a faint, characteristic herbal scent.
Solubility: Soluble in water and aqueous solutions.
pH: Typically neutral to slightly acidic, depending on the formulation.

Production Process:

Extraction: Meristem cells of Panax ginseng are harvested and subjected to a hydrolysis process to break down complex compounds into smaller, more bioavailable forms.
Purification: The hydrolyzed extract is purified to concentrate the beneficial compounds and remove impurities.
Formulation: The purified extract is incorporated into cosmetic formulations, such as serums, creams, and lotions.

Applications:

Skin Care: Used for its potential anti-aging, antioxidant, and revitalizing properties. It may help improve skin elasticity, hydration, and overall appearance.
Cosmetic Products: Incorporated into a variety of skincare products aimed at enhancing skin health and combating signs of aging.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Environmental Impact: Sustainable harvesting and production practices should be employed to minimize environmental impact and ensure the long-term availability of Panax ginseng.
Safety: Hydrolyzed Panax Ginseng Meristem Cell Extract is generally considered safe for use in cosmetics. People with specific allergies or sensitive skin should consult product labels and ingredients before use.

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.

Skin protectant. It creates a protective barrier on the skin to defend it from harmful substances, irritants, allergens, pathogens that can cause various inflammatory conditions. These products can also improve the natural skin barrier and in most cases more than one is needed to achieve an effective result.
