Fermented ginseng offers new skin care efficacy

摘要

Ginseng has a long history of use by humans for its health-giving properties. In fact its Genus name, Panax, means 'all heal', and it has a reputation across the world for its ability to induce energy, vitality and boost the immune system. However in the centuries of its use, it has largely been taken as an oral medicine and not topically. Korean company, GFC, now offers the cosmetics industry an opportunity to tap into the power and history of this famous medicinal root with its new fermented ginseng ingredient which harnesses for the first time the potency of ginseng for use in skin care products.
