ANGELICA FURCIJUGA FLOWER/LEAF/STEM EXTRACT

Description

Angelica Furcijuga Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract is a botanical ingredient derived from the Angelica furcijuga plant, native to Eastern Asia. This extract is gaining attention in skincare formulations for its potential benefits to the skin. Rich in bioactive compounds, including coumarins and polyphenols, it offers antioxidant properties that may help protect the skin from environmental stressors and free radical damage.

Studies suggest that Angelica Furcijuga Extract possesses anti-inflammatory capabilities, potentially soothing irritated skin and reducing redness. Its reported ability to inhibit melanin production makes it a candidate for addressing hyperpigmentation and promoting a more even skin tone. The extract may also contribute to improved skin barrier function, enhancing moisture retention and overall skin health.

In skincare products, this ingredient is often incorporated into serums, creams, and masks targeting anti-aging, brightening, and skin-calming effects. While promising, more research is needed to fully understand its efficacy and optimal concentration in formulations. As with any botanical extract, patch testing is recommended to ensure skin compatibility, particularly for those with sensitive skin or known plant allergies.
