About
Bai zhi (Angelica dahurica) root fermented by Saccharomyces — traditionally used for brightening, but its furanocoumarins are EU-flagged photosensitisers, so it is best avoided in leave-on daytime products.
Function

- Traditional brightening reputation
- Saccharomyces ferment metabolites soothe
Known concerns
