Ginger Root Extract, one of the best known botanicals since ancient times, has excellent anti-aging properties due to its ability to almost totally inhibit collagen degradation by collagenase enzyme inhibition. It allows the maintenance of protein levels in the dermis and skin flexibility. It also acts as an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory. Ginger Root Extract is used in formulations for skin and hair products, including refirming, massage and anti-dandruff preparations.
