Ever wondered what the lowdown is on ginseng? We’ll break it down together.
So, there are two main types: American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) and Asian/Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng). Hot tip: Siberian ginseng (or Eleuthero) is actually a phony—it’s not really ginseng, but a shrub! So it won’t serve up the same active ingredients. Both Asian and American ginseng are roots that pack a punch with ginsenosides, which researchers believe to be responsible for the benefits we’ll get into below.
Keep in mind, ginseng isn't just some root–it's the OG superfood! It's loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, keeping your cells in check. The plant grows for six years before harvest, hitting its prime.
Nowadays, ginseng is sometimes referred to as an "adaptogen," which is a group of plant-based ingredients believed to help the body adapt to stressors and stay on its A-game.
Ginseng can help upgrade your beauty routine, no matter your skin concern. If you’re trying to reduce wrinkles (which, BTW, in our opinion tell a story of a life well lived <3), ginseng boosts blood flow, cranking up collagen for that firm, flawless complexion. Its antioxidants fend off free radicals and environmental irritants, helping to calm redness and puffiness. Dull skin? Ginseng's coffee-like energy perks up your glow!
