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.

IFRA Amendment 49 sets a 0.80% maximum acceptable concentration for multiple leave-on categories when angelica root oil is used and the furocoumarin level is unknown.

Contraindications & cautions

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

About this composition

No batch-specific GC profile for the Signature retail variant was located in public source material reviewed in this pass. Hermitage Oils' live product page does verify that this Signature variant is Angelica archangelica root oil from France and is steam distilled from dried roots, but it does not publish a quantified GC assay. Composition therefore uses the EMA Appendix 1 literature ranges for Angelica archangelica root oil, and the pct_typical values below are midpoint estimates from those cited ranges because the public reflection paper does not publish a single dominant-batch assay for this retail variant. Safety is governed by the IFRA angelica root oil phototoxicity standard. 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 · 3 data gaps

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

No batch-specific GC profile for the Signature retail variant was located in public source material reviewed in this pass.
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.
