Active ingredient
Hydrolyzed Ginseng Saponins
Hydrolyzed Ginseng Saponins are produced by enzymatic or acid hydrolysis of the triterpene saponins (ginsenosides) present in Panax ginseng root. The hydrolysis cleaves sugar moieties, yielding smaller aglycone and protopanaxadiol/protopanaxatriol metabolites (including Rh1, Rh2, Rg3, compound K) that have improved skin penetration versus intact high-molecular-weight saponins. Used in premium Korean skincare as a high-potency, bioavailable form of ginseng active.

Benefits
- ✓Enzymatic or acid hydrolysis of intact Panax ginseng saponins (ginsenosides) produces smaller, more bioavailable aglycone forms (Rh1, Rh2, Rg3, compound K) that penetrate the stratum corneum more readily than native ginsenosides
- ✓Hydrolyzed ginsenosides retain and in some cases exceed the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin-brightening activity of the parent saponins — with the added benefit of reduced molecular weight for topical delivery
- ✓Stimulates collagen synthesis and inhibits matrix metalloproteinases in fibroblasts, supporting anti-aging and skin firming effects consistent with ginseng's longstanding reputation in East Asian skincare
No known watch-fors.
