Effectiveness of Panax ginseng stem leaf extract in cosmetics

It has been found that Panax ginseng stem and leaf extracts have strong antioxidant effects and can effectively scavenge oxygen radicals, DPPH radicals and ABTS radicals.
Anti-inflammatory: Panax ginseng leaf saponin has good anti-inflammatory activity, and its anti-inflammatory mechanism may be closely related to its inhibition of the activity of PLA2, the rate-limiting enzyme of arachidonic acid metabolism, thereby reducing the production of its inflammatory products. In addition, it can also regulate the expression of related cytokines, which has a good effect of inhibiting inflammation.

Whitening:

Panax ginseng leaves have certain whitening and spot-removing effects. Local people in Wenshan, Yunnan Province often use water boiled with Panax ginseng leaves to wash their faces and find that it can remove chloasma on the face. After using macroporous resin to enrich Panax ginseng leaf extract, researchers found that the inhibition of tyrosinase activity in the 50% ethanol eluted section was 1.1 times higher than that of arbutin, indicating that the 50% ethanol eluted section has a strong whitening effect.

In conclusion, the study showed that Panax ginseng root related extracts have good anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and skin repairing effects. Panax ginseng stem and leaves also had good anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and whitening effects. It indicates that Panax ginseng extract has great potential as an active ingredient additive in cosmetics.
