Key Features
- CO2 EXTRACT -CO2 extraction is a process using pressurised CO2 to extract all botanical materials from the plant, creating a pure, clean, high-quality oil with no solvent residue. CO2 extracts are generally more representative of the original plant material than oils extracted by other means such as steam distillation or solvent extraction as it is a more gentle process.
- AROMATHERAPY –Angelica Root is perhaps one of the lesser-known Essential Oils but can be a core part of your aromatherapy kit, as it is particularly good for massage due to its muscle soothing effects when used diluted in a carrier oil.
- HOW TO USE –Angelica Root is a ‘Select’ extract, so can be used for diffusion. Or why not try as part of a soothing bath or massage blend, try blending it with Bergamot and Lemon Essential Oils – their citrus notes compliment Angelica’s earthiness beautifully.
- QUALITY –100% Pure and natural, premium quality CO2 Angelica Root Extract. Vegan, GMO-free, cruelty-free, and sustainably sourced from Germany. Latin name: Angelica archangelica.
Angelica Root CO2, a Wonderfully Grounding CO2 Extract.
This oil has a deep, rich, and grounding earthy aroma, with distinct herbaceous undertones. When used it can help you feel closer to nature and soothed by its almost woody warmth. This is a golden yellow viscous oil which smells very different to the distilled oil; this extract is calming, soothing, grounding, and is a great anti-oxidant with naturally occurring antibacterial properties.
What is the difference between a CO2 Select and CO2 Total Extract?
Total extracts –These require higher pressure and low temperatures during extraction, with the resultant extract containing a high proportion of compounds such as fatty acids, waxes, resins, and any plant pigments. The oil is similar in nature to a complete extraction of all the Phyto-botanical materials. They are often semi solid or solid and must be gently warmed to use them like a liquid.
Select extracts –Require low pressure and low temperature with the resultant liquid/extract being made up of only volatile material. This method avoids thermal degradation, avoids oxidation and the result can be used like an essential oil. The oil differs from the distilled or solvent extracted version as it can have a very different chemical composition. Select extracts contain between 35% to 95% essential oil along with fatty acids and other fatty substances.
Why is our Angelica Root CO2 Extract so great?
To source the best oil and raw material suppliers, we travel the world and only opt for oils from controlled, sustainable sources that have little or no negative impact on the environment. This Angelica Root has been grown and distilled in Germany, then tested on site at our Hampshire laboratories to ensure excellent quality.
In addition, none of the Absolute Aromas products are tested on animals, and all are vegan and free from GM materials.
How to use
Compress – add a few drops of Angelica Root CO2 extract into a bowl or warm or cold water and use in a compress to soothe sore muscles and enjoy a deep sense of relaxation. Try a few drops in an un-fragranced body wash base with a couple of drops of Black Pepper and Cedarwood Essential Oils for an earthy, spicy wash.
TO NOTE: Do not use in pregnancy or when breastfeeding. Do a patch test 24 hours prior to first use to test for sensitivities and always use diluted at the correct ratio. Not suitable for use on children.
