Rare Wild Ginseng
What is
Rare Wild Ginseng?
Rare Wild Ginseng is a rooted plant known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging properties.
The growth cycle of ginseng varies greatly depending on its environment. Cultivated ginseng, grown under controlled conditions, is typically harvested after six years.
Wild ginseng, on the other hand, endures the harsh, untouched wilderness for over 30 years before it's harvested.
Its resilience and slow, steady growth have made it a revered ingredient in traditional Korean medicine.
Infused With Centuries of Korean Traditions
Wild ginseng's roots run deep in Korean culture, dating back to the 1400s. During the Joseon Dynasty, kings prized this potent medicinal ingredient, recognizing its remarkable ability to promote health and longevity and incorporating it into their daily wellness rituals. Today, Koreans often seek out ginseng to help strengthen their immune systems, alleviate fatigue, as it is known for multiple anti-aging benefits.
The Increasing Rarity of Wild Ginseng
In fact, due to its limited growing conditions, Rare Wild Ginseng now makes up only about 0.0002%* of South Korea’s total ginseng harvest, making it an exceptionally rare to find.
*Based on the estimated amount of wild ginseng among the total ginseng harvest (2015, Ginseng Statistical Yearbook, Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs)

Through groundbreaking research on the longevity of ginseng, THE WHOO has uncovered two powerful skin-enhancing compounds:- Wild Ginseng Ginsenoside™: A potent anti-aging compound that targets the skin's aging factors with precision. Ginsenosides are what give ginseng its powerful medicinal properties. Unlike the ones typically found in regular or red ginseng (Re, Rh1), this advanced formula features unique ginsenosides (C-Mc1) naturally abundant in wild ginseng that offer superior collagen-boosting benefits for visibly firmer, tighter, plumper skin.
- Senofence™: A dynamic blend of ingredients (quercetin, resveratrol, and kaempferol) that is known as restoring skin's resilience.*
