Obtained by distilling the flowering tops of Artemisia vulgaris, mugwort essential oil is used in cosmetics for its toning and balancing properties. Its herbal and aromatic scent also adds a distinctive note to preparations.

Cosmetic indications

It is suited for the care of mature, tired, or slackened skin due to its toning and regenerating effects. It is also used in hair care to revitalize the scalp and stimulate hair vitality.

Specific components and properties

Mugwort essential oil contains ketones (thujone), monoterpenes, and eucalyptol. These components provide toning, balancing, and stimulating properties. Note that it should be used with caution and in low doses because of its high ketone content.

Practical uses

• Face: toning anti-aging treatments.
• Body: firming massage oils.
• Hair: stimulating scalp treatments.
• Cosmetic products: added in low concentration for its herbal notes.

Available in professional packaging, mugwort essential oil comes with a technical sheet and can be tested as a sample.
