Also known as: Korean Ginseng Root Water, Ginseng Water
Panax Ginseng Root Water is a light botanical distillate derived from the roots of Korean ginseng. It delivers gentle antioxidant support and refreshing hydration without the heaviness of richer plant oils. While less concentrated than standardized ginseng extracts, it serves as a revitalizing, skin-calming base in toners and serums.
