Artemisia Annua Extract
Artemisia Annua Extract is derived from the whole herb of Artemisia annua L., a member of the Compositae (daisy) family, with CAS number 84775-74-6. According to official CosIng data, its registered cosmetic function is masking. It appears frequently in K-beauty formulations, particularly in calming, soothing, and acne-focused products. It is distinct from the more commonly used Artemisia vulgaris (mugwort) extract, though both belong to the same genus.
The source does not provide explicit benefit claims beyond the CosIng-listed masking function. Based on its prevalence in calming and acne-rescue product formulations listed on the page, it is associated with soothing and skin-calming properties, though no clinical evidence is cited in the source.
