Artemisia Capillaris, also known as Korean mugwort, is a resilient Eastern herb that thrives through Korea’s harsh summers and winters. This high-performance soothing serum contains PDRN extracted from mugwort, known for its calming and skin-repairing properties. It absorbs smoothly with a silky, non-sticky finish, making it gentle even for sensitive skin. Combining natural soothing benefits with regenerative power, it helps restore skin balance and clarity. Ideal for daily use on all skin types.
This vegan PDRN serum formula draws on the Artemisia capillaris plant – also known as Korean mugwort – as its source of PDRN. The PDRN acts to boost collagen and hyaluronic acid production, helping to firm, calm, and revitalize the skin, and is refined via an ecofriendly process without using phenol or chloroform.
The ingredient combines in the serum with 13 types of hyaluronic acid and Centella asiatica extract, all acting to deeply hydrate and strengthen the skin. Regarding its texture, the semi-emulsion formula disperses oil ingredients stably between polymeric thickeners, without the use of traditional emulsifiers. By utilizing this self-emulsifying thickening system, the formula offers both stability and comfort. It combines the benefits of transparent solubilized formulas – that provide a lightweight feel but can lack sufficient moisturization – and emulsified formulas, which deliver rich hydration but tend to feel heavy and oily. In contrast, this formula feels fresh and hydrating on application, while forming a breathable moisture barrier on the skin as it absorbs, for a light feel fused with longlasting hydration. The result is a silky, non-sticky texture that absorbs smoothly, making it ideal for daily use on all skin types.
