The South Korean beauty expert discovers a slew of skin benefits from ginseng
Since 1966, ginseng has played a key role in the success of Sulwhasoo. Its research and development in the indigenous South Korean plant has led to a discovery of benefits for the skin and its latest, the Concentrated Ginseng Renewing collection harnesses the properties found in the entire plant, from roots to leaves and stems.

Sulwhasoo discovered the rare ingredient, Saponin, in the roots of the ginseng, which has powerful anti-aging and whitening effects for the skin. Active ingredients in the stems and leaves are also found to protect skin from external stressors, besides restoring skin's elasticity and firming up its deeper layers.
Meanwhile, ingredients from ginseng flowers and fruits such as Ginsenoside Re bolsters the skin’s defence system and combats any external aggressor.
