ACANTHOPANAX SENTICOSUS ROOT WATER.

Valuable CAS 84696-12-8 / ANTIMICROBIAL, ANTIOXIDANT, HAIR CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING

A botanical hydrosol derived from Siberian ginseng root that functions as an adaptogenic ingredient for skincare. This water-based extract delivers stress-protective benefits while promoting epidermal regeneration through stem cell activation and basement membrane strengthening.

Summary

Skin conditioning Antioxidant protection Soothing agent Adaptogenic support

Science

Mechanism of Action

Functions as a topical adaptogen by enhancing skin's resistance to environmental stressors through downregulation of miR135b, which promotes epidermal stem cell survival and proliferation. Simultaneously increases Type IV collagen synthesis in the basement membrane while forming a protective polysaccharide film on the skin surface, with eleutherosides providing additional antioxidant defense.

Stability

Exhibits high stability in aqueous systems but shows heat sensitivity with optimal extraction temperatures of 50-80°C. Active polysaccharides degrade under prolonged high temperature exposure.

Synergies

  • Other adaptogenic botanicals
  • Peptides for enhanced regeneration
  • Hyaluronic acid for hydration layering

Conflicts

  • Strong oxidizing agents
  • High-concentration alcohols (causes polysaccharide precipitation)
