Polaar Super Ingredient Focus: Siberian Ginseng

Siberian Ginseng is a little-known plant to the general public, yet it has incredible virtues for man and his health! While Siberian Ginseng is often used in homeopathy or as a dietary supplement - it is reputed to stimulate the body, and support physical and intellectual effort - it is also particularly interesting in cosmetics to tone and illuminate the skin. In fact, it's the star ingredient in our Icy Magic eye magic wand range, which includes the Icy Magic Instant Eye Defatigant Roll-On, as well as our Icy Magic Eyelash & Brow Serum.

Discover Siberian Ginseng, a magical ingredient with multiple benefits, for a luminous, radiant eye contour.

From a purely botanical point of view, Siberian Ginseng is actually the root of the Eleutherococcus shrub (eleutherococcus senticosus is its scientific name). Its name can be misleading, as it's not part of the same family as the Chinese ginseng or red ginseng (panax ginseng) you usually hear about: Panax Ginseng originates from Asia (China or Korea), where it has been traditionally used for centuries to boost the immune system and restore energy. Its active ingredients, which are particularly beneficial to health, are ginsenosides, which are not found in Siberian Ginseng.

The only similarities between these two plants, which have certainly led to this confusion: they have incredible adaptogenic properties (i.e. they help the body regulate itself to cope with all types of stress), and a definite ability to stimulate the immune system.

Our Siberian ginseng grows in the undergrowth of the Tundra, the characteristic landscape of the polar regions, hostile to the development of organisms due to their freezing temperatures. "Tundra" means "barren land" in Lappish. However, some plants do thrive and survive in these extreme conditions. Among them, Siberian Ginseng, which ensures its survival thanks to its adaptogenic capacities. In a nutshell, this plant characteristic of the polar regions gorges itself on micronutrients to increase its resistance to the various dangers that jeopardize its survival. The root is highly concentrated in flavonoids and antioxidants, which are of particular interest in cosmetics, as they help to preserve and regenerate the skin, even under the most difficult conditions.

Siberian Ginseng is an active ingredient frequently used in phytotherapy (generally in the form of food supplements: capsules, ampoules or tablets, alone or in combination with other super-active ingredients, such as royal jelly or Peruvian maca) to increase the body's ability to adapt to all types of stress. And with good reason: it helps reduce fatigue and boost the body's recovery. So it's ideal for overworked people who want to regain their energy!

Students love it to boost their powers of concentration and intellectual performance, and sportsmen and women to improve their stamina and promote better recovery after exercise.

In cosmetics, it's a precious active ingredient with proven virtues: it tones and revitalizes the epidermis, and is unrivalled for illuminating the skin and restoring its radiance and beauty! That's why we've integrated it into the Polaar range in an exceptional eye care product, the ICY MAGIC Roll-On, ideal for all those who want to restore a radiant look in a single step.

It is also found in our Icy Magic Eyelash & Brow Serum. It has energizing and restorative properties, and restores tone and vitality to the hair fibers of eyelashes and eyebrows. Rich in antioxidants and flavonoids, Siberian Ginseng deeply nourishes the hair bulb, providing strength and density.

This active ingredient is also one of the key ingredients in our Tinted anti-dark circle Icy Magicwhich, thanks to its hybrid half-care, half-make-up formula, illuminates and smoothes the eye contour in a single step.

Siberian Ginseng is the star ingredient in our ICY MAGIC Instant Eye Roll-On!

It is then integrated into the formula of our eye contour care to restore all the benefits of this plant, and restore radiance and tone to your skin.

The eye contour is a particularly delicate area of the face, requiring your full attention to protect it from aging (crow's feet wrinkles and fine lines), dehydration and its damaging effects (dark circles) or poor blood or lymph circulation (puffiness).
