Hair loss and thinning are becoming more common—and more talked about—than ever before. From postpartum changes to stress-triggered shedding, the reasons are complex, but one natural ingredient is catching attention in the world of scalp care: ginseng.
At CENTRED, we’ve always believed in harnessing the power of nature—backed by science. Which is why we’ve included Panax Ginseng Root Extract in our award-winning Heightened Shampoo, designed to gently cleanse while actively stimulating the scalp.
But can ginseng actually regrow hair? Let’s dive in.
What is Ginseng and Why is it in Haircare?
Ginseng, especially Korean red ginseng (Panax ginseng), has been used in traditional medicine for centuries to boost energy, balance the body, and support longevity.
Its benefits for the scalp and hair are thanks to its rich content of ginsenosides, natural compounds that exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and circulation-enhancing properties. In short, it's a root that goes deep, just like we do.
The Hair Growth Benefits of Ginseng
1. Boosts Follicle Activity
Ginsenosides are shown to stimulate dermal papilla cells, the cells at the base of the hair follicle responsible for regulating hair growth. This can help prolong the anagen phase (growth phase) of the hair cycle.
2. Improves Scalp Circulation
Ginseng is a vasodilator, which means it improves blood flow to the scalp. Better circulation means better delivery of oxygen and nutrients to each strand.
3. Fights Scalp Inflammation
Many types of hair loss stem from inflammation. Ginseng has anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe the scalp and create an ideal environment for hair to grow.
4. Combats Stress-Related Hair Loss
As an adaptogen, ginseng supports the body’s ability to manage stress, one of the biggest hidden triggers behind modern hair loss.
The Surface is Just the Start. Real Growth Starts From Within.
While ginseng is a powerful topical ingredient, the truth is: hair health can’t be solved by shampoo alone.
If you’re truly looking to maximise hair growth, you need to go deeper than the surface.
That’s where our Inside Out Method™ comes in. It’s not just about what you put on your scalp, it’s about nourishing your body from within.
Pairing scalp-stimulating products like Heightened Shampoo and En-Root Scalp Oil with our Tender Love and Hair, hair growth vitamins gives you a targeted, two-pronged approach:
🧠 The science of stimulation (ginseng, rosemary leaf extrcat, peppermint)
🍃 The power of nutrition (B vitamins, biotin, amino acids, zinc, probiotics)
Together, they help to reawaken sluggish follicles, rebalance your scalp, and give your hair the nutritional foundation it needs to grow stronger and fuller over time.

Final Thoughts: Can Ginseng Regrow Hair?
While no ingredient can single handedly cure hair loss, ginseng shows real promise as a natural, effective way to support healthier, stronger hair, especially when paired with internal nutrition.
For those navigating hair shedding, stress-related thinning, or simply wanting to optimise their scalp environment, ginseng is a root worth returning to.
Because real growth doesn’t happen at the surface.
It happens when you nourish the root; inside and out.
