Japanese Angelica Root
Discover why Japanese angelica root is called the #nofilter skincare ingredient.
Hands down, the greatest filter of all is #nofilter. Enter Japanese angelica root, which helps create skin that looks equally great in person as it does when you bump it up for your Insta feed. This anti-inflammatory herbal extract helps to even out skin tone and invoke next-level brightness. No more “red here, pale there” patchiness. Just flawless-looking skin IRL.
The good health herb.
The extract comes from the root of the Japanese angelica herb. It’s a powerful ingredient, but it’s no J-beauty flash trend—there are over 60 varieties of angelica, and they’ve been used throughout history in both Japanese and Chinese traditional medicine, often as a tonic for women. The variety from Japan that is cultivated and refined for topical cosmetic use is a potent anti-inflammatory. In Japanese, the herb is called “toki,” which translates to “recovering good health.”
