Herb extract from the Artemisia family. K-beauty calming ingredient; cousin of mugwort with similar concerns for ragweed-sensitive users.

Artemisia capillaris is in the same plant genus as mugwort (Artemisia princeps) and shares the broad anti-inflammatory and antioxidant story. Common in K-beauty soothing formulations targeting redness and reactive skin. Same Asteraceae cross-reactivity caveat as calendula and chamomile applies — patch-test if you have ragweed sensitivity.
