ASARUM SIEBOLDII ROOT EXTRACT
Asarum Sieboldii Root Extract is material obtained from the roots of Asarum sieboldii Miq., a species known in English as Japanese wild ginger. The plant is native to Japan, Korea, Manchuria and Primorye, so the ingredient name identifies a particular botanical raw material rather than common culinary ginger.
ASARUM SIEBOLDII ROOT EXTRACT: what it is
Asarum Sieboldii Root Extract is material obtained from the roots of Asarum sieboldii Miq., a species known in English as Japanese wild ginger. The plant is native to Japan, Korea, Manchuria and Primorye, so the ingredient name identifies a particular botanical raw material rather than common culinary ginger.
The word “root” matters here: this ingredient refers to an extract from that part of the plant. It is not the same as Asarum sieboldii root water, an aqueous preparation of root distillates, or an extract made from both rhizome and root. Those are separate designations and can refer to different botanical preparations.
ASARUM SIEBOLDII ROOT EXTRACT: what it does in cosmetics
In cosmetics, Asarum Sieboldii Root Extract is used for skin conditioning. In everyday terms, that use is intended to help keep the skin in good condition as part of the product experience, supporting a cared-for look and feel; it is not, by itself, a claim to treat a skin condition.
One topical study examined a blend of Asarum sieboldii, Platycodon grandiflorum and Cinnamomum cassia extracts in a mouse model of induced dermatitis and in cells. Because it tested three extracts together rather than this cosmetic ingredient alone in people, its findings do not show that Asarum Sieboldii Root Extract treats dermatitis, acne, dark spots or wounds.
