Description

Hydrolyzed Ginseng Root is an extract derived from the roots of Panax ginseng, subjected to hydrolysis. This process breaks down the large molecules in the root into smaller, more bioavailable fractions, enhancing their efficacy in cosmetic formulations.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Active Components: Includes ginsenosides, peptides, amino acids, and polysaccharides from Panax ginseng. The hydrolysis process reduces the size of the molecules, resulting in smaller peptides and amino acids.
Molecular Weight: Variable, as hydrolysis produces a range of smaller molecular weights compared to the raw extract.
Structure: Composed of peptides and fractions of ginsenosides, designed to penetrate the skin effectively and provide cosmetic benefits.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: Typically a clear or slightly opaque liquid, depending on concentration and degree of hydrolysis.
Odor: Mild, with variations depending on the specific formulation and degree of hydrolysis.
Solubility: Soluble in water and compatible with many aqueous-based cosmetic formulations.
pH: Neutral or slightly acidic, suitable for use in a variety of cosmetic products.

Production Process:

Preparation: The Panax ginseng roots are processed and prepared for hydrolysis.
Hydrolysis: The roots are treated with enzymes or acids to break down the macromolecules into smaller peptides and other fractions.
Filtration and Purification: The hydrolyzed material is filtered and purified to obtain a concentrated, stable extract.
Formulation: The finished product is incorporated into various cosmetics such as serums, creams, and lotions.

Applications:

Skincare Products: Used for its moisturizing, anti-aging, and firming properties.
Cosmetic Formulations: Added to serums, moisturizers, and masks to leverage the benefits of hydrolyzed ginseng fractions.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Environmental Impact: The hydrolysis process is generally sustainable and resource-efficient.
Safety: Generally recognized as safe for use in cosmetics when applied as recommended. Individuals with known sensitivities or allergies should use caution.

INCI:


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.
