Angelica Root Extract (Angelica Archangelica Root Extract) – Versatile medicinal and culinary herb with reservations in skincare (CAS: 84775-41-7)
Angelica Root Extract (Angelica Archangelica Root Extract) is derived from the root of the True Angelica (Angelica archangelica). The plant is native to northern regions of Europe and has been regarded for centuries as a traditional medicinal and culinary herb. While it is used in food production, in herbal liqueurs (e.g., Chartreuse or gin), and as a dietary supplement, its application in skincare should be considered under certain conditions.
Active ingredients and traditional applications
The Angelica root contains various bioactive substances, including essential oils, furanocoumarins, and flavonoids. Traditionally, the plant is used among other thingsused as a digestive aid, to stimulate appetite, or for general strengthening. In folk medicine, there are recommendations for promoting circulation, alleviating stomach discomfort, or supporting a healthy immune system.
- Essential oils: Give the root an aromatic scent; valued as a seasoning ingredient in culinary recipes.
- Furocoumarins (e.g., Bergapten, Xanthotoxin): Can cause phototoxic reactions upon skin contact in conjunction with UV light.
- Flavonoids: Potentially antioxidant compounds that are valued in dietary supplements or herbal preparations.
Application in Skin Care – Opportunities and Limitations
In principle, Angelica root extract contains components that may have antioxidant and soothing effects. However, the presence of furocoumarins is problematic, as they can be phototoxic. This means that the skin may become more sensitive after applying the extract when exposed to sunlight, leading to the potential for pigmentation spots or irritations.
- Potential Benefits: Soothing, antioxidant effects; in highly purified or furocoumarin-reduced form, the extract is interesting for certain cosmetic formulations.
- Disadvantages / Risks: Phototoxic reactions with simultaneous UV exposure; strict regulation regarding the furocoumarin content is necessary to avoid skin irritations.
Food and dietary supplements
In culinary applications and in dietary supplements, angelica root is significantly more widespread due to its aromatic profile and its traditionally attributed health-promoting properties. Examples:
- Herbal liqueurs and spirits: Component of Chartreuse, gin, or other herbal infusions; adds a spicy note.
- Culinary recipes: Used to flavor desserts, bread, or jams.
- Dietary supplements: Tinctures, teas, or capsules with angelica root to promote digestion or general strengthening (always within the framework of legal regulations).
Manufacturing and Purity
The extract is obtained through various methods (e.g., maceration, distillation, or CO₂ extraction), in which the dried roots are processed. Depending on the extraction method, essential oils and furocoumarins can be extracted in varying concentrations. For cosmetic applications, it is essential to control the furocoumarin content or to use a highly purified extract.
Recommended Usage Concentration
Cosmetics: If used at all, a very low dosage (e.g., below 0.1–0.5%) is advisable. Careful testing for phototoxicity and compliance with regulatory requirements (e.g., IFRA standards) is essential.
Food / Dietary Supplements: The amount varies depending on the product. A careful dosage is recommended when used as a flavoring or bittering agent in spirits, teas, or capsules. Always observe the legal limits and approvals for herbal extracts.
Clinical Studies and Efficacy
Scientific investigations primarily focus on the digestive and anti-inflammatory properties of angelica root. Evidence for safe and effective topical application is less clear, particularly due to the risk of phototoxic reactions. (Sources: Journal of Ethnopharmacology, Phytotherapy Research)
Conclusion: Angelica Root Extract – Traditional All-Rounder with Caution for the Skin
Angelica Root Extract (Angelica Archangelica Root Extract) is a traditional medicinal and culinary herb that has proven effective primarily in food, spirits, and as a dietary supplement. For skincare, special precautions are necessary due to the presence of furocoumarins. Those wishing to use the extract cosmetically should only use highly purified variants in minimal concentrations and carefully assess any potential phototoxicity. In culinary applications, however, the aromatic root delights with its spicy character and a long tradition in European herbalism.
