Artemisia annua leaf powder

This world-famous plant, also known as the "Queen of Plants", is a true masterpiece of nature.

It exudes an incomparably aromatic, long-lasting scent and, with over 600 nourishing ingredients, it represents pure plant energy that amazed people in Asia 2000 years ago.

Yes, "annual mugwort" and "Artemisia annua" refer to the same plant. Artemisia annua is the scientific name for the plant often referred to as sweet wormwood in German, or qinghao in Chinese.

1. Use as a cosmetic raw material:
According to the EU Commission's CosIng database (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.

The complete IFRA list for all other applications can be downloaded here.

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

3. Use as incense (traditional application):
When burned, the dried herb develops a slightly tart, sweet-spicy scent, which is described as clarifying and grounding.

Instructions:

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

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

Our Artemisia is harvested and bottled exclusively by certified producers and according to the highest quality standards in Germany.

The usual harvest in Europe is usually carried out by tractor, resulting in a lot of empty stems in the finished product. Our leaves are carefully and meticulously stripped by hand by our growers and then processed with care to ensure you receive a product of the highest possible quality and purity .

In contrast to the usual quality, which consists of mechanically chopped plant parts and usually contains 80% empty stems, our product is also much more concentrated .

Our variety of annual mugwort can have a up to 20 times higher content of selected plant-derived ingredients, which makes it particularly popular as an ingredient in high-quality natural cosmetics.

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

This “masterpiece from nature's green treasure chest” is exclusively available 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 produce, we would get 150 kilos of (brown) wild-type produce from Asia.

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

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

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

The only difference is that Artemisia annua or Moringa leaf cuts are the dried leaves of the plant, while Artemisia or Moringa leaf powder are the same dried leaves that are pulverized using a grinder.

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