About (ARTEMISIA SIEVERSIANA/DIMOCARPUS LONGANA) FLOWER/LEAF/STEM EXTRACT
A dual-plant extract from an Artemisia species and a tropical tree with limited cosmetic safety data and some allergenic potential from the Artemisia component.
Detailed Analysis
This extract combines Artemisia sieversiana (a relative of mugwort and wormwood) and Dimocarpus longana (a soapberry related to longan/litchi). Artemisia species commonly contain sesquiterpene lactones, which are documented contact allergens (SCCS has flagged multiple Artemisia compounds). The EU labelling requirement for fragrance allergens (Annex III) may apply if detectable levels of Artemisia volatiles are present. Dimocarpus longana has limited documentation in cosmetics. The combination lacks comprehensive safety data, particularly for the specific species A. sieversiana.
