Ginselect Phytosome®

Phospholipids (and) Panax ginseng root extract. Skin elasticity Improver. Used in tonic lotions (emulsions and solutions), conditioning shampoo, hair conditioners and antiaging products. The physico-chemical characteristics of Ginselect® Phytosome® and its ready dispersibility in water and oil virtually pose no limitations to the preparations of cosmetic formulations. Ginselect® Phytosome®, dispersed in aqueous phase by a homomixer or a turboemulsifier, is suitable for incorporation into monophasic and biphasic systems at a temperature lower than 40°C in order to avoid thermal stress that might damage the phospholipidic chain. For thousands of years, extracts of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer have been systematically used for the prevention or treatment of a variety of conditions frequently associated with aging. Some recent trials, besides the traditional use of Ginseng for skin care, showed the positive effects of ginseng saponins on the structure and mechanical properties of hair, improving distensibility and resistance to breakage. For centuries, women collecting and selecting ginseng roots were noticed to have particularly nice hands, due to the fact that handling these roots has helped them to keep the skin of their hands young and smooth.
