Black forest ginseng in skin & hair care: scientifically proven, naturally effective

Fermented black ginseng is more than just a trend - it is a highly effective active ingredient with proven anti-ageing effects. In this article, we show you how modern research confirms the benefits of ginseng - and how GINZAI uses this power specifically for your skin.

IN NATURE WE TRUST.
Because real beauty begins with balance - and the right active ingredient.

🔬 1. fermented black ginseng: Powerful against skin ageing

Studies show: Fermentation changes the structure of ginseng and increases its antioxidant properties. In a publication in the journal Applied Sciences (Kim et al., 2021), fermented black ginseng was examined for its effect on UV-damaged skin.

💡 Result:
It promotes the formation of procollagen (the "raw material" for collagen) and reduces collagen degradation - two crucial processes for wrinkle prevention and cell regeneration.

"Black ginseng exhibited significant protective effects against UV-induced photoaging by increasing type I procollagen production and reducing MMP-1 levels in fibroblasts."
(Kim et al., 2021, DOI:10.3390/app11083410)

👁️ 2. Study evidence: Wrinkle reduction with black ginseng

In a clinical 8-week study (Jung et al., 2017) on 40 test subjects, black ginseng was able to demonstrate a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles - particularly in the sensitive eye area.

"The wrinkle area and depth in the eye region were significantly decreased, supporting the cosmetic potential of black ginseng as an anti-wrinkle agent."
(Jung et al., 2017, Int. J. Mol. Med.)

🧬 3. why fermentation makes the difference

Fermented ginseng contains bioavailable ginsenosides - so-called saponins - which penetrate deep into the skin and have an active regenerative effect. According to a scientific review study (Kim et al., 2023), fermentation improves both absorption and efficacy.

"Fermentation significantly alters the saponin composition of ginseng, resulting in enhanced absorption and stronger biological activity."
(Kim et al., 2023, Molecules)

📌 What does this mean for you?
Maximum effectiveness of the products combined with high tolerance - ideal for sensitive or mature skin.

⚗️ 4. Exclusively at GINZAI: The G-Hiexpotential® method

GINZAI goes far beyond classic fermentation. Our G-Hiexpotential® process is a multi-stage 30-day process in which the black forest ginseng is refined and concentrated under controlled conditions.

🔍 Advantages of this process:

• 10 times more effective than red ginseng 

• Higher bioavailability of ginsenosides

• Better skin compatibility thanks to enzymatic treatment

• Maximum effect with simultaneous mildness

The result: a highly effective ginseng extract that not only has an antioxidant effect, but also strengthens the skin's natural barrier and measurably reduces signs of ageing.

🌿 5th GINZAI - Science meets nature

GINZAI is not a K-Beauty brand, but a German brand that offers innovative solutions for skin and hair care. The fermented forest ginseng comes from South Korea, but is refined using our G-Hiexpotential® process so that it is optimally tailored to the skin's needs.
