Asparagus officinalis is an herbaceous, perennial plant native to Europe, northern Africa, and western Asia. It is commonly called asparagus and consumed as a seasonal vegetable. It is a good source of B vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. It has a long history of cultivation and uses as a medicinal plant. In modern herbal medicine, asparagus is still used to treat kidney stones, urinary tract problems, and rheumatic conditions.

Asparagus is rich in glutathione, which boosts the immune system and reduces inflammation. Chemical analyses found that A. officinalis contains many phytochemicals, including asparagusic acid derivatives, ferulic acid, and flavonoids. These compounds were revealed as anti-oxidants or to have inhibitory effects of COX-2 or tyrosinase, all of which support their applications in cosmetics.
