The evidence, graded
moderatePlants of the daisy family (Compositae) are a known cause of allergic contact dermatitis from herbal remedies and cosmetics, and mugwort belongs to that family. No source Drop has read measured how often people allergic to ragweed react to mugwort on skin; one review says the risk for people already sensitized is largely unknown. Unknown is not the same as safe, so Drop suggests a patch test.Paulsen 2002 · Contact Dermatitis ↗
