<DIV>Hello, this is one for the ginseng experts among you...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm beginning a project with a cosmetics company, helping them source some
ingredients. My question; Is there any reason whatsoever to apply ginseng
root extract to finger or toe nails? Is there any literature that would
indicate delivery of any medicinal / tonic benefit from extract applied to
finger or toe nails? The company in question lists "panax ginseng extract"
in its ingredients list for nail oil (not sure yet if it's asian or
american, will inquire). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Would appreciate any leads, thanks,</DIV>
<DIV>Jennifer</DIV>
