Ginbalance

Bio-Fermented Ginseng & Peony Complex for Skin Immunity & Balance

INCI Name: Butylene Glycol, Paeonia Lactiflora Root Water, Panax Ginseng Extract, Aspergillus Ferment

Ginbalance is an advanced biotech active that harnesses the power of fermented Panax Ginseng and White Peony Root. Through a specialized fermentation process using Aspergillus, this ingredient delivers potent antioxidant and immunomodulatory benefits. It works by balancing the skin’s natural defense mechanisms (Th1/Th2 immunity), reducing sensitivity and reactivity. Ideal for formulators creating products for sensitive, irritated, or environmentally stressed skin.

Solubility Notes:

Water-soluble. Incorporate into the water phase or during the cool-down phase of formulation, below 40°C (104°F).

Performance & Formulation Insights for Ginbalance

How Ginbalance Works: Balancing Skin’s Immune Response

Ginbalance leverages a sophisticated bio-fermentation process to unlock and amplify the bioactive compounds within Panax Ginseng and White Peony Root. Fermentation with Aspergillus breaks down complex molecules into smaller, more bioavailable forms and generates beneficial postbiotic metabolites. The core mechanism centers on modulating the skin’s immune system by rebalancing Th1/Th2 pathways. In sensitive or allergy-prone skin, these immune responses can become dysregulated, leading to inflammation, redness, and reactivity. By helping to normalize these pathways, Ginbalance calms over-reactivity, supports both cellular and humoral immunity, and strengthens the skin’s innate defenses for a visibly soothed, resilient, and balanced complexion.

Formulation Guidelines & Technical Advantages

Ginbalance is a water-soluble liquid active that integrates seamlessly into serums, toners, lotions, and creams. For optimal stability of the fermented actives, add during the cool-down phase at temperatures below 40°C (104°F). It is stable within a cosmetic-friendly pH range of approximately 4.5–6.5. The pre-solubilized format ensures easy, homogeneous dispersion and is highly compatible with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and a wide array of botanical extracts. Its soothing profile pairs well with potentially irritating actives (e.g., retinoids, AHAs/BHAs), helping to improve tolerance and overall user comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ginbalance

Fermentation significantly increases the bioavailability of key actives (e.g., ginsenosides and paeoniflorin) and generates new postbiotic metabolites that deliver unique soothing and balancing benefits beyond standard extracts.

It refers to regulating the skin’s immune response to prevent overreaction. By helping normalize Th1/Th2 pathways, Ginbalance reduces triggers for inflammation, sensitivity, and allergic responses for calmer, more stable skin.

The recommended usage level is 1% to 5%, depending on the desired intensity of soothing effects and the product format.

Yes. Its strong soothing and anti-inflammatory properties can help mitigate the irritation potential of chemical exfoliants, improving product tolerance across skin types.

While not a direct anti-acne active, its ability to calm inflammation and visible redness can be beneficial for inflammatory acne conditions and irritated, breakout-prone skin.

For best performance and stability, formulate between pH 4.5 and 6.5, which aligns with typical cosmetic ranges and skin compatibility.
