About

Dang shen root powder, a gentle adaptogenic herb used in traditional Chinese skincare for its energizing and skin-conditioning properties.

Codonopsis pilosula root (dang shen) is widely used as a food and medicinal ingredient in China, often as a gentler substitute for Panax ginseng. It contains tangshenosides, codonopsine, and polysaccharides. No EU cosmetic restrictions apply. The ingredient has a strong safety record in both dietary and traditional medicine contexts. Cosmetic use at typical botanical concentrations is considered safe.

Skin benefits

  • Polysaccharides have moisturising and barrier-supporting properties
  • Adaptogenic activity helps skin resist stress
  • Supports skin energy metabolism similar to ginseng but milder
