About this ingredient
Ginseng leaf and stem extract (INCI: Panax Ginseng Leaf/Stem Extract) comes from the plant's aerial parts and brings ginsenosides and antioxidant polyphenols, with a profile similar to the root extract though different in proportions. In a formula it works as a supporting additive for antioxidant defense and skin tone. Efficacy reads calmly. It shares ginseng's experimental interest as an antioxidant, but specific topical clinical evidence for the leaf/stem fraction is scarce. It is a pleasant support component, not an active that transforms skin on its own. Topically it has no meaningful systemic passage, so the extract can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Tolerance is good, with low irritation and allergy potential. It suits sensitive skin and rarely causes a reaction.
