Description

Hydrolyzed Panax Ginseng Leaf/Root/Stem Extract is an ingredient derived from Panax ginseng, including its leaves, roots, and stems, which has been hydrolyzed to enhance its bioavailability. This extract is valued for its potential benefits in skincare and cosmetic formulations due to its rich content of active compounds.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Active Components: Contains ginsenosides, polysaccharides, peptides, and other bioactive compounds resulting from the hydrolysis process. These components are known for their moisturizing, soothing, and anti-aging properties.
Molecular Weight: The hydrolyzed extract comprises low to medium molecular weight compounds, which are easier for the skin to absorb compared to larger molecules.
Structure: Includes proteins, peptides, and polysaccharides that have been broken down into smaller fragments through hydrolysis, making them more readily available for skin absorption.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: Typically a clear to slightly opaque liquid, depending on the concentration and formulation.
Odor: Generally mild or neutral, with subtle plant or earthy notes.
Solubility: Soluble in water, which facilitates its incorporation into aqueous formulations.
pH: Usually slightly acidic or neutral, suitable for integration into various cosmetic products.

Production Process:

Extraction: The extract is obtained from the leaves, roots, and stems of Panax ginseng.
Hydrolysis: The raw extract undergoes a hydrolysis process where enzymes or acids break down the larger molecules into smaller, more bioavailable forms.
Purification: The hydrolyzed extract is purified to remove impurities and concentrate the beneficial components.
Formulation: The purified hydrolyzed extract is incorporated into cosmetic products, such as serums, creams, and masks, to leverage its active compounds.

Applications:

Skincare Products: Used in various formulations to provide enhanced hydration, calming effects, and anti-aging benefits.
Cosmetic Formulations: Included in serums, creams, and masks to utilize the bioactive components for skin care purposes.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Environmental Impact: The hydrolysis process generally uses water and enzymes or acids, which may have a lower environmental impact compared to some traditional extraction methods.
Safety: This ingredient is generally considered safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products when used as directed. Individuals with allergies to ginseng or very sensitive skin should exercise caution.

INCI:


Adhesive agent. It is one of the methods to improve and optimise the adhesion of the formulation on the skin.

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 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.
