Ginseng is often considered the 'king of herbs', thanks to its reputation as a "cure" for all forms of illness. Its peculiar roots have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years and are known to stimulate the body and mind. Today, ginseng remains one of the most widely used ingredients in the world, in teas and supplements. In cosmetic products, ginseng is known to stimulate collagen production, re-energise the skin and make it more toned and radiant.

Ginseng's main active components are the so-called 'ginsenosides' - which are unique to ginseng and have strong antioxidant properties.
