Angelica gigas, also known as Korean angelica, giant angelica, or purple parsnip, is a robust perennial or biennial plant native to Korea and northeastern China. The roots of A. gigas have been a cornerstone of Korean traditional medicine for centuries, commonly employed for their ability to alleviate menstrual pain, anemia, and various inflammatory conditions. In folk remedies, the root is often prepared as decoctions or extracts to support blood circulation and overall vitality. Historically, its use extended to skincare, where it was believed to promote a healthy complexion, soothe irritated skin, and protect against environmental aggressors. The plant’s reputation for enhancing skin health is rooted in its ability to calm inflammation and support tissue regeneration, making it a popular ingredient in herbal formulations aimed at maintaining youthful, resilient skin. Modern research has validated many traditional claims, revealing that A. gigas root extract exhibits significant anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-aging effects beneficial for skin health. Studies demonstrate that A. gigas extract can calm irritated skin, reduce redness, and protect against UV-induced damage, thus supporting skin barrier function and resilience. Additionally, the extract enhances collagen synthesis, which is crucial for maintaining skin firmness and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. According to the research studies conducted at GNS R&D Center, it is proved that A. gigas root extract can show cooling effect by increasing the gene expression of cooling receptor and calcium influx which eventually lead to feel a cooling sensation.
