What is Mugwort Extract?

A traditional herbal soothing and antioxidant ingredient trending in K-beauty

Offers anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant effects. Helps soothe sensitive skin and condition the complexion.

Main causes & characteristics of Mugwort Extract

Mugwort (Artemisia) is rich in flavonoids such as eupatilin and jaceosidin, as well as essential oil components, which are known to exert antioxidant and soothing effects. It has long been used in traditional herbal medicine for its ability to help neutralize free radicals and may help calm irritation responses in skin that has become red or sensitized due to external stimuli.

Managing Mugwort Extract

Available in toner, ampoule, and mask formats, it is best used in the soothing step immediately after cleansing. If you have an allergy to plants in the daisy family (Asteraceae), a patch test on the inner arm before use is recommended. If a rash or itching persists, discontinue use and consulting a dermatologist is recommended.
