Essential Nose Angelica Root
Angelica archangelica
Angelica root oil is characterised by a dominant monoterpene fraction — alpha-pinene, limonene, and delta-3-carene — alongside bioactive phthalides and furanocoumarins that are responsible for its phototoxic potential: exposure to UV light after topical application can cause severe skin reactions.[1][2] Its antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria has been confirmed in vitro, and the oil is used in perfumery for its herbaceous, musky-earthy base note.
