Artemisia abrotanum extract (INCI Artemisia Abrotanum Extract), known as southernwood, comes from an aromatic plant. In anti-aging cosmetics it is positioned toward skin firmness and density. It is worth keeping expectations in check. The maker links the extract to firmness and density, but independent data is scarce. Take it as a support component, not as a firming active with solid backing. Applied topically it is not systemically relevant, so in cosmetics it can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding without issue, though ingesting plants of the Artemisia genus is best avoided. Irritation potential is low, but allergy potential is medium: plants of the Asteraceae family, which includes Artemisia, can trigger a contact reaction in people sensitized to that group. For most it does not happen. If you react to daisies, chrysanthemums or ragweed, patch-test a small area first. There is no data on relevant comedogenicity.
