What it is
Mugwort (Artemisia) extract has a long tradition in Korean topical care for irritated or compromised skin. Cosmetic formulations rely on its tannins and phenolic compounds for anti-irritant positioning. Modern K-beauty uses it in toners, essences, and creams targeted at sensitive or barrier-disrupted skin.
