The loss of protein, which provides elasticity to the skin layer of the epidermis, leads to a decrease in collagen and hyaluronic acid, resulting in wrinkles. We have developed an eye serum designed to alleviate these wrinkles, combining ginseng and retinal extract. .
From the beginning, ginseng was the key ingredient we chose for this serum, as it is backed by multiple studies for its effectiveness in reducing wrinkles, thanks to its abundant saponin content. Ginseng is a well-known herbal ingredient with exceptional benefits.
We wanted to combine Vitamin A with ginseng, specifically in its two cosmetic forms Retinol and Retinal. Our main challenge was to balance the stability of the ingredients while minimizing skin irritation. We incorporated 2% (active ingredient 0.02%) of liposome-stabilized retinal into our formula, allowing customers to directly experience the effects of retinal.
Main components
Ginseng Root Extract 10%
In Dongyebogam, the Korean herbal medicine book, ginseng was used as an important oriental medicine and was recorded as “shinchu,” meaning herb of the gods. Hwang Jinyi, known as the most beautiful woman of the Joseon era, used a decoction of ginseng as bath water.
The rich saponins found in ginseng help deliver moisture to the skin quickly and keep it deep within the skin for a long time to help form healthy skin.
Retinal Liposome 2%
Retinal is a derivative of vitamin A and has long been used throughout the history of skincare to improve wrinkles.
When vitamin A is consumed through food, it undergoes metabolic processes that convert it in the order retinol -> retinal -> retinoic acid. Retinal, which converts directly to retinoic acid, acts on the skin faster and more effectively than retinol, which must go through the process of conversion to retinal.
We used “Retinal Liposome” which is stabilized by breaking down the retina into smaller elements and coating them with liposomes and then adding ingredients such as natural fats and oils. In addition, we blend ingredients such as glycerin, niacinamide, and cholesterol together to create a more effective product.
