Mugwort is a cult Korean skincare ingredient said to effectively tamp down inflammation, to possess antibacterial and antifungal properties and contains powerful antioxidants.
We’ve added both Mugwort Hydrosol and Mugwort Vinegar to form the base of this Beauty Water. Mugwort hydrosol is created through steam distillation and Mugwort vinegar is sourced from small batch producer from Korea who produces medicinal vinegars rarely sold outside of Korea. Both these mugwort ingredients help soothe sensitive skin and redness, and the vinegar resets the health of your skin microbiome.
As with all our other Beauty Waters, this Mugwort Beauty Water also contains a tiny amount of foaming silk to cleanse your face without the need to wash it, and a mild fruit acid complex which gently exfoliates your skin so it can even better absorb the beneficial components of Mugwort.
Interestingly, Mugwort has a panoply of uses throughout different indigenous cultures for healing and magical uses. In traditional Chinese medicine, mugwort is used in moxibustion, a form of heat therapy which helps to invigorate the movement of energy in the body and dispel pathogens. The Romans placed mugwort leaves inside their shoes for endurance and to alleviate fatigue. Mugwort is used in multiple witchcraft traditions for protection and divination, and when placed by the bed, is also said to aid astral projection.
