Zingiberaceae beskrivning
The _Zingiberacae_ family of plants has research showing it has soothing and potent antioxidant activity when taken orally and when applied to skin. Ginger extract is generally considered non-volatile, meaning it doesn’t pose a risk of sensitising skin. In contrast, the oil form of ginger maintains the volatile components (ginger oil contains over 50 such components) that have the potential to aggravate skin with topical use.
