Ginseng Extract
Ginseng Extract is a popular botanical ingredient in skincare and haircare, valued for its energising and revitalising properties. Derived from the root of the ginseng plant, it is commonly found in serums, creams, masks and hair treatments aimed at boosting radiance and resilience.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics, ginseng extract functions as a skin-conditioning and toning agent. It is rich in ginsenosides, polysaccharides and antioxidants that help support the skin’s natural barrier, improve the appearance of dull, fatigued skin and promote a more youthful-looking complexion. When used in haircare, it can help strengthen the hair fibre and improve scalp vitality for a healthier appearance.
