Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Oil

Product Description

Green Stone Swiss supplies Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Oil through direct factory channels, delivering steam-distilled ginger root oil with batch GC-MS documentation for cosmetic OEM and aromatherapy personal care manufacturers.

Gingerols and sesquiterpene constituents from Zingiber officinale root modulate ROS generation and pro-inflammatory signaling, while delivering characteristic warming sensory cues in topical oil-phase matrices.

Formulators specify this essential oil at low use levels in scalp massage serums, body contour oils, and warming balms where botanical ginger actives support clean-label body and hair care positioning.

Key Benefits & Applications

Ginger root oil delivers oil-phase antioxidant, warming sensory, and scalp-comfort activity at controlled use levels.

• Warming Body Care Support: Characteristic warming sensation enhances body massage oils and contour treatment balms.
• Gingerol Antioxidant Activity: Gingerol-class phenolics neutralize lipid peroxidation in oil-based antioxidant systems.
• Anti-Inflammatory Modulation: Modulates COX-linked inflammatory signaling in post-exercise body care formulas.
• Aromatherapeutic Calming: Warm spicy aroma supports sensory comfort in aromatherapy-inspired skincare lines.
• Scalp Comfort Support: Low-dose inclusion refreshes scalp appearance in warming pre-shampoo and massage serums.

Formulation Guidelines

Restrict to low oil-phase levels; perform patch tolerance testing for leave-on products.

• Recommended use level: 0.05–0.5% in leave-on; 0.5–1.5% in rinse-off body cleansers
• Optimal formula pH: Oil-phase ingredient; emulsify into O/W systems below 0.5% leave-on
• Processing: Add to oil phase; incorporate below 40°C to protect volatile terpenes
• Compatibility: Compatible with carrier oils and waxes; predilute before water-phase emulsions
• Caution: May cause sensitization at high levels; follow IFRA category limits for leave-on use
• Synergy: Pair Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 at 2–5 ppm with ginger oil in follicle-focused scalp ampoules.
