Panax ginseng, commonly known as ginseng, is a well-known medicinal herb native to northeastern Asia. Its root is generally consumed for medicinal purposes in traditional medicine, as well as a health supplement. It is one of the most well-known adaptogenic plants. It has the ability to fight against weakness and fatigue, and is helpful for convalescence and recovery of physical and mental illnesses. Ginseng has over 35 active ingredients which are called ginsenosides. Some herbalists say that the powerful effects of the adaptogens are based on the synergy of their active ingredients. That supports ginseng as one of the most effective adaptogens.

Ginseng actively growns only for 4 to 5 months each year, under shade and cool temperature. This characteristics make ginseng cultivation to be difficult and many farms use pesticides and apply cooling and heating devices to protect ginseng from damage, which eventually increases the production cost. To overcome these difficulties and to lower the production cost, one ginseng farm in Boryeong found a solution called "Cold Air Cultivation." In this cultivation method, fresh, cold breeze from an abandoned mine is used. Using a cool breeze of 12~14°C, the optimal growth temperature of ginseng is maintained at around 22°C even in the middle of summer, resulting in a faster growth ratethan ordinary open field ginseng.

Ginactive Water is a pro anti-aging ingredient using Cold Active Ginseng, the ginseng grown with "Cold Air Cultivation" method.
