What Is Angelica Polymorpha Sinensis Root Extract?
Angelica polymorpha sinensis root extract, also known as Angelica sinensis root extract or dong quai extract, is a type of herb used frequently in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean traditional medicines. Its main function in this capacity is as an oral treatment for various internal ailments, including some blood disorders.\n\nRecent studies have found that Angelica polymorpha sinensis root extract does contain several beneficial components, among them antioxidants, polyphenols, and phytoestrogens. These can have anti-aging and soothing effects when applied topically. Unfortunately, this root also contains some fragrant compounds that can react with sunlight and cause a rash or severe sunburn, making this an ingredient that we recommend be used with caution.
