Codonopsis Pilosula, belonging to the Campanulaceae family, is a plant native to the forests of Korea and China. It is also known by the name of Dang shen or ginseng of the poor due to its energizing power which makes it a valid alternative to ginseng.

Since ancient times, the Codonopsis Pilosula extract, obtained from the drying roots of Dang Shen, has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to combat tiredness and a sense of exhaustion.

It is also used in modern phytotherapy, in particular to harmonize gastric activity and rebalance digestion in cases of excessive acidity or when there is a strong sense of heaviness. Its antioxidant action is also recognized, acting at the level of free radicals.

Codonopsis Pilosula Extract (Codonopsis Lanceolata Extract) is also used in cosmetics, in particular as an adjuvant in the presence of stretch marks. In fact, the presence of saponins and polysaccharides in this extract helps to inhibit the inflammatory process, which is the main cause of the formation of stretch marks. It is also a good support for improving the appearance of the skin, in terms of tone and compactness. It can also give an astringent effect on the skin.
