What is Angelica Polymorpha Sinensis Root Extract?
Angelica Polymorpha Sinensis Root Extract functions in skincare and cosmetics as a moisturizing ingredient. Orally, this Chinese herb is used for the treatment of psoriasis. However, oral and topical applications are different. Dong quai is not to be confused with Angelica extract, which is a difference ingredient.
In Southeast Asia, other Angelica species are sometimes substituted for dong quai (Angelica sinensis). Most often these include Angelica acutiloba, which is predominantly found in Japan; and Angelica gigas, which is mainly found in Korea. Although these three species are similar, the chemicals they contain are different. Don’t think of these species as interchangeable.
