Premium (hero product)
Ginseng Radiance Renewal Face Cream
A premium renewal face cream built on a standardised ginseng extract, positioned for mid-to-premium anti-aging lines in Southeast Asia. Ginseng is the story ingredient, niacinamide carries the tone-evening work, and a peptide and ceramide base does the texture and barrier work. The one thing worth reading closely before you brief this product is the ginseng input tier, because the level a brand can legally claim is different in the US than it is in Asia, and that decision sits upstream of everything else.

Key Active Ingredients
How the Active Ingredients Work
Levels below are our standard ODM starting point, expressed as a share of the total formula on an as-supplied basis, and adjustable for your target market and price point.
Panax Ginseng Root Extractassist tier baseline 1% · range 0.5–2%; hero tier 2% and above, market-dependent
The positioning ingredient, and the one that needs a decision rather than a default. Percentages here refer to the liquid extract as supplied, not dry solids, which is the single most common source of confusion when brands compare ginseng quotes. Our assist tier at 1% is the safe global default and ships anywhere. A hero-tier ginseng line runs 2% and above, but note the constraint: US industry-reported maximum use levels for leave-on root extract sit around 0.5%, so a 2%-plus input is an Asia-market decision, not a global one. If the brief is standardised on ginsenoside content instead, we keep the ginsenoside contribution at or below 0.55%, and the supplier technical data sheet governs which basis a given lot is quoted on.
Niacinamidebaseline 3% · range 2–5%
The active doing the visible tone work while ginseng carries the narrative. At 3% it sits in the hero tier, high enough to justify a tone-evening claim and low enough to stay comfortable in a rich cream base. Korea caps niacinamide at 5% under its functional-cosmetic framework, which is why the range stops there rather than going higher. We pair it with the peptide blend rather than with low-pH actives, since acid or pure vitamin C combinations are where tolerance complaints start.
Matrixyl 3000 peptide blendbaseline 3% · range 3–4% as supplied
Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 with palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, quoted on the commercial solution basis rather than as pure peptide, which is again where quote comparisons go wrong. Baseline 3% puts it in the hero tier for a premium anti-aging positioning; an assist-tier version at 1% is available where the price point needs it. What we will not write for you is that peptides rebuild collagen or reverse ageing — those are structural claims we cannot support on a cosmetic. Supportable language is smoother, firmer-looking skin over continued use.
Ceramides with vitamin Eceramide complex, plus tocopherol as the antioxidant
The barrier and stability half of the formula. Ceramides handle the after-feel that buyers in this price bracket judge a cream on within the first week, and tocopherol protects the oil phase rather than functioning as a marketing active. Neither carries a claim of its own here; they are the reason the actives above stay comfortable in a 30ml or 50ml jar over shelf life.
Hyaluronic acid blendrange 0.1–0.5% total sodium hyaluronate
Multi-weight, and supporting cast rather than a functional active. Above roughly 0.5% total the cream turns tacky on application, which reads as a formulation defect in a premium jar even when everything else is right. We keep it in the range that supports slip and immediate feel without that tradeoff.
Formulation & Customization Options
| Ginseng input tier | Assist tier 1% for a globally shippable formula, or hero tier 2% and above for Asia-market lines; ginsenoside-standardised material quoted separately |
| Texture | Rich cream as the default, or a lightweight gel-cream version for humid-climate markets without changing the active load |
| Adjustable elements | Niacinamide within 2–5%; peptide blend at assist tier 1% or hero tier 3–4%; shea and oil-phase load for a lighter or richer finish |
| Fragrance | Unfragranced by default; a light ginseng-adjacent herbal accord or a clean floral can be developed |
| Pack | Frosted glass low-profile jar with metal or plastic lid at 30ml or 50ml; airless pump available where a preservative-light system is preferred |
Who This Product Is Built For
Mid-to-premium anti-aging lines
The jar and the ginseng story support a price point above a basic moisturiser, which is the gap most value-tier brands cannot reach with a niacinamide cream alone. If the target shelf is closer to mass market, the Niacinamide Brightening Anti-Spot Cream hits a similar tone benefit at a lower landed cost.
Brands building a ginseng franchise
This cream anchors a line that can extend into a sheet mask without reformulating the story. The Beauty Ginseng Brightening Sheet Mask runs the same positioning at a sampling-friendly price, which is how most ginseng lines acquire first-time buyers.
Markets where richness is a selling point
Northern Asia and cooler-season Southeast Asian channels reward a cream that feels substantial. For year-round tropical distribution the gel-cream option or the Lightweight Oil Control Moisturizing Gel Cream is the better fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much ginseng is actually in this cream?
Our default is 1% liquid extract as supplied, with a hero tier at 2% and above. Two things matter more than the number itself. First, the basis: our percentages are formulation input as a share of the total formula on an as-supplied basis, not dry solids and not raw material purity, and they match our batch records. Second, the market: US industry-reported maximum use levels for leave-on ginseng root extract sit near 0.5%, so a hero-tier input is a decision for Asia-market lines rather than a global default. We will confirm the tier against your destination market before sampling.
Can you make this a whitening cream?
We can build the tone-evening story on niacinamide and support visible radiance claims. What we will not do is write whitening or anti-melasma language into your artwork, because in China that is a special-purpose cosmetic requiring efficacy filing, and in the US treatment-of-pigmentation wording puts the product into drug territory. Brightening and evening the look of skin tone is the wording we can stand behind everywhere we ship.
What is the MOQ and lead time?
MOQ is 2,000–3,000 jars per SKU and lead time is 45–55 days after sample approval. Sampling runs 2–3 weeks. The 45–55 day window includes the stability work this formula needs, since a ginseng extract in a rich oil phase is not a formula we would ship on a shorter clock.
Do the peptides do anything at this level, or is it label decoration?
At baseline 3% of the Matrixyl 3000 commercial solution the peptide load is functional rather than decorative, which is the difference between a 3% and the 0.1% you sometimes see behind a peptide claim. That said, the honest claim ceiling is smoother and firmer-looking skin over continued use. Collagen rebuilding and wrinkle reversal are structural claims we do not support on a cosmetic, and a supplier who offers them is a compliance risk to your brand.
Can we get Halal or Vegan certification?
Both can be arranged against your target market rather than claimed off the shelf. This formula has no animal-derived inputs, so a vegan position is straightforward to document. Halal certification is arranged per market, and we would scope it during sampling rather than after artwork is locked.
Is the glass jar a problem for export?
It adds weight and requires more careful transit packing, but it is what the price point expects and we ship it routinely. If your channel is e-commerce heavy and breakage is the main concern, the airless pump or a PP jar keeps the formula unchanged and cuts the risk. Manufacturing is ISO 22716 and GMPC compliant, with SGS testing on request.
