A LITTLE CARE GOES A LONG WAY

Using it thoughtfully

Read the full safety context before bringing this oil into your routine.

Cited dermal maximum · leave-on: 0.8%
Phototoxicity: Phototoxic — use caution
Maximum for sun-exposed skin: 0.8%
Oxidation risk: medium

A cited maximum is a limit, not a suggested dilution. Missing restrictions do not establish safety.

No Serbia-specific quantified furocoumarin assay was available on the accessible supplier materials, so the IFRA 0.80% restriction remains the applicable leave-on cap when the furocoumarin level is unknown.

Contraindications & cautions

moderateLeave-on dermal use on UV-exposed skin should not exceed 0.80%.

About this composition

This record uses the Liberty Natural Serbia COA as the primary composition source for the major peaks because it provides lot-specific quantitative results for a Serbia-origin steam-distilled Angelica archangelica oil. The supplier's product page title and INCI both identify the material as root oil, although the COA's 'Parts Used' field says 'OLEO-GUM-RESIN'; that inconsistency is preserved as a gap rather than silently normalized away. Closure was raised from 0.864 to 0.96 by adding minor/trace constituents from Acimovic et al. 2017 (Natural Product Communications 12(2):205-206), a peer-reviewed GC-FID/GC-MS study of wild-grown A. archangelica root oil from Mt. Ozren, Serbia -- the same country of origin as the COA lot, and a close match on the major peaks (alpha-pinene 29.7%, delta-3-carene 14.2% vs. the COA's 31.5%/16.1%). The two sources are independent lots/analyses, not duplicates, so minor constituents quantified only in the literature source are added here as supplementary rows rather than merged into the COA's combined peaks. For archive scoring, odor_intensity is normalized to 70 from live public aroma-band descriptors that place angelica root between medium and medium-strong strength rather than publishing a native 0-100 figure.

What we're still learning · 5 data gaps

Good decisions start with knowing what is — and isn't — in the evidence.

The public Serbia COA identifies the material as root oil in the page title and INCI but also states 'Parts Used: OLEO-GUM-RESIN'; resolving that supplier inconsistency would require a corrected primary supplier document.
The Serbia COA reports limonene and beta-phellandrene as a combined peak rather than separate quantified constituents.
No public source reviewed in this pass expressed angelica root odor intensity on the dataset's required 0-100 numeric scale; the stored value 70 is an archive normalization of live public descriptors ('Odor Strength: medium' from Perflavory and 'Strength of Initial Aroma: Medium - Strong' from AromaWeb), not a published laboratory number.
No source-backed volatility_rate value was verified in this pass.
Closure raised from 0.864 to 0.96 by adding 12 minor/trace constituents from Acimovic et al. 2017 (Natural Product Communications 12(2):205-206), a peer-reviewed GC-FID/GC-MS study of wild Mt. Ozren (Serbia) A. archangelica root oil. This is a different lot/analysis than the Liberty Natural COA (both Serbia-origin, with closely matching major peaks), so the two sources are blended rather than treated as duplicates; the literature source's own total was 99.3% with 15 unidentified minor peaks (3.6%), so full agreement between the two Serbia datasets should not be expected.
