Science

Mechanism of Action

The blend operates through several synergistic pathways. Honey provides inherent soothing and nourishing properties, improving skin texture and delivering active nutrients. Panax Ginseng Root Extract enhances cellular metabolism and circulation, acting as a powerful antioxidant by inhibiting collagenase and tyrosinase, which supports collagen integrity and brightens skin tone while providing hydrating and anti-inflammatory effects that reinforce the skin barrier. Rehmannia Glutinosa Root Extract contributes significant antioxidant, moisturizing, and soothing benefits, promoting skin regeneration and collagen synthesis, reducing inflammation, and strengthening the skin's protective barrier. Poria Cocos Extract supports skin hydration and rejuvenation, reduces inflammation, improves elasticity, and stimulates natural regeneration, offering antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal actions. It also has a proliferative effect on integrins, contributing to a tightening sensation and promoting smoother, more even-toned skin.

Key findings

  1. 01 Topical application of Panax ginseng leaf purified extracts (containing ginsenoside Rb3) significantly decreased the depth of deep furrows in the crow's feet area over eight weeks, with no reported skin irritation.
  2. 02 Oral supplementation of Rehmannia Glutinosa Leaf Extract (100 mg/day for 56 days) led to a clinically relevant decrease in acne severity and improved skin hydration, radiance, complexion, luminosity, homogeneity, smoothness, texture, firmness, and quality of life in participants with moderate to severe acne.
  3. 03 Poria Cocos water extract (at 20, 100, and 500 µg/mL) demonstrated effects on gene expression pathways associated with inflammation.

Stability

Panax Ginseng Root Extract can exhibit turbidity upon low-temperature storage due to protein-pectin interactions. Honey's beneficial compounds may degrade with prolonged exposure to high heat. Optimal extraction pH for Poria Cocos polysaccharides has been identified at pH 5. Panax Ginseng Root Extract typically falls within a pH range of 4.0-4.7. Water and ethanol are common solvents for Rehmannia Glutinosa root extraction.

Caution
Sensitization risk Low

The specific blend has not been reviewed by CIR. However, individual components generally demonstrate a favorable safety profile. The CIR Panel considers Panax spp. root-derived ingredients safe for cosmetic use. Panax ginseng root extract has been orally tolerated up to 2g/day for 4 weeks. Honey is generally recognized as safe. Rehmannia Glutinosa Root Extract is considered 'possibly safe' orally for up to 8 weeks and seems well-tolerated; it is 'grandfathered in' as safe for dietary supplements in the U.S. Poria Cocos extract showed no genotoxicity in acute oral toxicity tests. While Panax ginseng leaf purified extracts showed no primary skin irritation in human studies, some infrequent side effects (rash, liver damage, severe allergic reactions, potential teratogenic effects in mice) have been noted for Panax ginseng (specifically ginsenoside Rb1). Insufficient reliable information is available regarding Rehmannia glutinosa's safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding, thus caution is advised.
