Panax Ginseng Root Brown Liquid Extract (Cosmetic Grade)

This is a brown, water-soluble ginseng extract made for formulators who want real botanical performance—especially for “energized glow” and healthy-looking skin formulas—and don’t mind natural color in the finished product.

Think of it like a “boost” ingredient: it helps your toner/serum/cream feel more premium, more active, and more skin-supporting, while still being easy to work with in water-based products.

IMPORTANT (why it’s different from the clear version)

This is the brown version, so it can tint or darken clear formulas. If you need zero color impact, choose the clear extract instead.

What it’s best for

Dull-looking skin (adds a more refreshed look)
Glow” + tone-support formulas (without harsh actives)
Scalp care / hair products needing a lightweight botanical boost
Creams, lotions, masks, and darker-toned serums where tint isn’t an issue

How to Use (step-by-step)

1. Add in cool-down: when your batch is below 40°C (best for botanical integrity).

2. Start at 2–3%, then adjust based on the look/feel you want.

3. Keep formulas in the pH 4.0–7.0 comfort zone for best stability.

“How much in 100g?”

• 2% = 2g in 100g

• 3% = 3g in 100g

• 5% = 5g in 100g

Pro Tips

• If you’re making a clear toner/serum, test at 1% first—brown extracts can visibly tint.

• For the most consistent results, mix well and let the formula sit to check final color.

• This is an extract, not a preservative—your final water-based product still needs a complete preservative system.
