Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract · 5% aqueous hydroglycerin stock
Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract, a fixed 5% hydroglycerin stock harnessing the power of key actives like flavonoids, polyphenols, and organic acids for enhanced skin resilience. Known by traditional names (Mugwort, Ssuk), we provide the INCI name for precise formulation.
A traditional botanical renowned for its skin-benefiting properties.
Botanical Identity: Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract, known botanically as Artemisia Princeps, is a respected botanical ingredient in cosmetic science. Trade Names: While commonly referred to as Ssuk or Mugwort, Formulate Labs offers this high-performance botanical by its INCI name, Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract, ensuring consistent quality and full transparency, distinct from specific supplier-dependent SKUs often associated with its common names.
Dual mechanism: Mechanistically, the extract functions as a biological architect for the epidermis by activating the AHR/OVOL1 signaling axis, which helps fortify the skin's structural integrity. Concurrently, it supports the skin's natural antioxidant defenses by activating the NRF2 pathway to help neutralize oxidative stress. The extract also possesses potent soothing properties, helping to condition the skin and mitigate visible signs of irritation by suppressing macrophage activation.
Use levels: Use levels for Formulate Labs' 5% hydroglycerin stock of Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract are typically 1.0% to 5.0% in finished formulations for intensive applications. Biological activity of the extract is observed from a minimum threshold of 0.03% in the finished product.
Market context: Competitor marketing for Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract is built around three core pillars. Brands often blend a "Heritage Meets Science" narrative, leveraging traditional Hanbang names like Ssuk or Mugwort with modern clinical evidence for barrier repair. It is prominently featured in high-performance "rescue" products, targeting consumers with reactive, hyper-sensitized, and blemish-prone skin seeking potent, soothing solutions. Additionally, to support premium price points, brands frequently highlight specific geographic origins and emphasize the high concentration of actives in their formulas.
Pricing context: Public B2B pricing data for standardized, cosmetic-grade Artemisia Princeps liquid extracts is exceptionally sparse, and its value is significantly greater than raw botanical powders. While powder equivalents might range from $10-$20/kg, the price of a high-purity liquid extract depends on origin, purity, and extraction method. For Formulate Labs' standardized hydroglycerin extract, a 500g sample is $65.00, 1kg is $100.00, and a 17kg pail is $1,445.00 (approximately $85.00/kg).
