What it is
A water-based preparation made by steeping or distilling Panax ginseng root, used as a mild carrier and hydrating base rather than a concentrated actives extract. It is common in Korean-style toners and essences.
How it works
It functions largely as an aqueous solvent and humectant vehicle carrying trace water-soluble ginseng constituents; its conditioning effect is gentler and less concentrated than an alcohol- or glycol-based root extract.
