NATURE'S MOST PRECIOUS TREASURES

1. Use as a cosmetic raw material:
According to the CosIng database of the European Commission (Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 on cosmetic products) CAS No.: 84775-74-6 | EC No.: 283-903-4, Artemisia annua is listed as a versatile cosmetic ingredient. It has a skin-conditioning effect, supports a well-groomed complexion, has antimicrobial properties, can counteract excessive sebum production and, thanks to its natural scent, also contributes to perfuming.

You can download the complete IFRA list for all other applications here.

2. Use as a chemical raw material:
In accordance with the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and the C&L Inventory of ECHA (European Chemicals Agency).

3. Use as incense (traditional use):
When burned, the dried herb releases a slightly tart, sweet and spicy scent that is described as clarifying and grounding.

Instructions:

• Use a fireproof bowl or an incense burner with sand or a clay base.
• Light a charcoal disc and let it glow through completely.
• Place a small amount of the cut leaves/leaf powder on the glowing charcoal.
• The rising smoke releases the aromatic properties.
• Air the room well after burning.

Note:
Not intended for consumption. Not a food.
As Artemisia annua is a purely natural product, there may be slight variations in appearance and scent.

Our Artemisia is harvested and packed exclusively by certified producers in Germany, in line with the highest quality standards.

Conventional harvesting in Europe mostly uses tractors, which means the finished product contains plenty of stems with no valuable compounds. Our growers strip the leaves by hand gently and with great care and then process them carefully, to offer you a product of the highest possible quality and purity.

In contrast to standard quality, which consists of machine-shredded plant parts and usually contains 80% stems with no valuable compounds, our product is also far more concentrated.

Our variety of sweet wormwood can have up to 20 times higher levels of selected natural plant compounds, which makes it especially popular as an ingredient in high-quality natural cosmetics.

In addition, the plants usually have no flowers yet at harvest time in late autumn - a feature that makes this cultivar particularly allergy-friendly.

This “masterpiece from nature's green treasure chest” is available exclusively from us.

Ensuring Artemisia annua products meet high quality standards requires a great deal of effort.

It is therefore hardly surprising that the price of high-quality products is adjusted accordingly, and that comparatively cheap products cannot possibly meet the same quality standards.

For example: a field worker in Germany earns about 100 times as much as a picker in northeast India. For the price we pay our German farmers for 1 kilo of Tesana production, we could get 150 kilos of (brown) wild-form goods from Asia.

Sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua) and common mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) are two remarkable plants from the daisy family.

The leaves of sweet wormwood are finely pinnate, giving them a delicate, graceful appearance. Their colour is deep green. The leaves of common mugwort are broader and larger.

The most important difference is that sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua), unlike common mugwort, contains a high proportion of secondary plant compounds. Neither is a food.

The only difference is that Artemisia annua or Moringa cut leaves are the dried leaves of the plant, while for Artemisia or Moringa leaf powder the same dried leaves are pulverised with a grinding machine.

Artemisia leaf powder is ideal as a cosmetic raw material, while Artemisia cut leaves are preferably used as incense.

There are no differences whatsoever in the compounds/constituents.
