Description

Hydrolyzed Ginseng Protein is a protein derived from Panax ginseng that has been hydrolyzed to enhance its absorption and cosmetic benefits. This ingredient is obtained through the hydrolysis process, which breaks down proteins into smaller fragments such as peptides and amino acids.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Active Components: Includes ginseng peptides and amino acids derived from Panax ginseng proteins.
Molecular Weight: Composed of peptides of various molecular weights, typically low molecular weight, which facilitate skin penetration.
Structure: Chains of amino acids of varying lengths, obtained through enzymatic hydrolysis.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: White or slightly beige powder, sometimes available as an aqueous solution.
Odor: Mild, characteristic of ginseng derivatives.
Solubility: Soluble in water, blends well with other aqueous and cosmetic substances.
pH: Typically neutral or slightly acidic, suitable for use in cosmetic formulations.

Production Process:

Extraction: Proteins are extracted from Panax ginseng roots.
Hydrolysis: Extracted proteins undergo enzymatic hydrolysis to break them down into smaller peptides and amino acids.
Filtration and Purification: The resulting solution is filtered to remove impurities and concentrate the product.
Formulation: The final product may be provided as a powder or solution and incorporated into skincare and cosmetic products.

Applications:

Skincare Products: Used for its potential moisturizing, firming, and antioxidant properties. Can help improve skin firmness and elasticity.
Cosmetic Formulations: Suitable for serums, creams, lotions, and facial masks intended to enhance the appearance and health of the skin.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Environmental Impact: Generally considered ecologically sustainable with a production process that uses plant resources efficiently.
Safety: Generally recognized as safe for use in cosmetics. People allergic to plants or with very sensitive skin should be cautious.

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.
