Description

Hydrolyzed Ginseng Root Extract is a cosmetic ingredient derived from the roots of Panax ginseng, processed through hydrolysis. This process breaks down the ginseng root into smaller, more easily absorbed peptides and amino acids.

Chemical Composition and Structure:

Active Components: Includes peptides and amino acids from ginseng root.
Molecular Weight: Composed of low to medium molecular weight peptides that enhance skin penetration.
Structure: Various peptides and amino acids, obtained through the enzymatic hydrolysis of ginseng root proteins.

Physical Properties:

Appearance: Typically a light brown to beige powder or a liquid.
Odor: Mild, characteristic of ginseng.
Solubility: Soluble in water and blends well with other cosmetic ingredients.
pH: Generally neutral or slightly acidic, making it suitable for use in a variety of cosmetic formulations.

Production Process:

Extraction: Ginseng root is extracted to obtain the raw material.
Hydrolysis: The extracted material undergoes enzymatic hydrolysis to break down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids.
Filtration and Concentration: The hydrolyzed extract is filtered and concentrated.
Formulation: The final product is incorporated into cosmetic formulations, either as a powder or solution.

Applications:

Skincare Products: Used for its moisturizing, soothing, and skin-conditioning properties. It can enhance skin texture and elasticity.
Cosmetic Formulations: Suitable for inclusion in creams, serums, lotions, and masks designed to improve skin appearance and health.

Environmental and Safety Considerations:

Environmental Impact: Generally sustainable, using plant resources efficiently.
Safety: Generally considered safe for use in cosmetics. Individuals with specific sensitivities or allergies should be cautious.

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.
