Product Description

Siberian Ginseng Extract is a thick, golden liquid made from an aqueous extraction of the Acanthopanax Senticosus (Siberian Ginseng) root. Also known as eleutherococcus root extract, this extract is used in herbal products for its health and skin benefits. This powerful extract is perfect for skincare formulations where a smoother, tighter, and firmer skin is desired.

Whether you’re formulating an eye serum, facial toner, or a tightening décolletage cream, Siberian Ginseng Extract has unique cosmetic benefits. It helps improve skin texture and gives a lifting sensation, making it great for mature or tired-looking skin.

This extract is particularly good for products targeting dry, dull, or redness-prone skin. It gives a soothing effect and helps maintain skin hydration and suppleness for a healthy-looking complexion. Its consistency and colour – thick and golden – adds to the luxurious feel of your final product.

Made from sustainably sourced roots, this water-based extract has no added synthetic colours or fragrances. It’s biodegradable, vegan-friendly, and free from animal-derived ingredients. As with all herbal products, quality and sourcing are important to ensure safety and efficacy.

Skin Firming for a Glowing Complexion

Siberian Ginseng is used in cosmetics for skin that looks smoother, more toned, and lifted. Its natural polysaccharides create a film-forming layer on the skin, which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and give a more youthful finish. Great for firming serums and tightening creams, this extract is perfect for skin that feels tired or lacks elasticity.

Calm and Comfort Skin That Looks Stressed

Dry or sensitive skin shows signs of redness or uneven texture. Siberian Ginseng Extract is great for soothing the skin and supporting a balanced complexion. Its lightweight gel format is easy to add to hydrating masks, cooling mists, and lightweight moisturisers that reduce redness and refresh the skin’s appearance.

Mechanism of Action: How Siberian Ginseng Works in Skin Care

Siberian ginseng extract from the root of Eleutherococcus senticosus has been used in traditional Chinese medicine and Siberian herbal practices for centuries for its many health benefits. Unlike Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng) and American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius), Siberian ginseng contains unique active compounds called eleutherosides. These herbal stimulants are known for their antioxidant effects, making them a valuable addition to modern skincare routines.

In summary, Siberian ginseng extract offers a multi-faceted approach to skin care, providing antioxidant benefits. For best results, choose high-quality, standardised products and consult with a healthcare professional to tailor your regimen to your individual needs. By understanding the molecular mechanisms of Siberian ginseng and combining it with other herbs thoughtfully, you can unlock its full potential for glowing, healthy skin.

A thick, golden coloured gel that is 25% active aqueous root extract consisting primarily of the complex polysaccharides and associated glycoproteins from the root of the Siberian Ginseng plant.

How to use it

Skin Care

• Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face and body.
  
  
• The lifting effect is apparent in creams and lotions, but is more noticeable and effective when applied in a gel or serum.
  
  
• Smooths and tightens the skin, so use in pre-moisturising gels or skin firming serums.
  
  
• Excellent for firming up the décolleté area in a toner or gel.

Hair Care

• No direct hair care usage.

Other

• Use 5% to 10%. Water-soluble, so it cannot be used in oil-only products.
  
  
• Use under 40°C or in stage 3 (cool down stage) when making creams and lotions.
  
  
• Add a little water or a water-soluble material slowly until the Siberian Ginseng Extract loosens.
  
  
• It can take a few minutes to solubilise completely, ready for adding to your products.
  
  
• It is a film-forming product, so it does not penetrate the skin. It is the film forming that gives the tightening feeling and effect. As such, it is best to use a gelling agent that is not too heavy, as that will also sit on the surface of the skin and may appear flaky.
  
  
• As this lifting effect is cosmetic only, there is no advantage to using it in night products.
  
  
• Blend with Coenzyme Q10 in a gel to get a longer-term collagen lift.
