INCI: Artemisia afra Oil

Pure Indigenous Organic African Wormwood Essential Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil from Artemisia afra, a grey-green shrub native to South Africa. It is valued in aromatherapy for its fresh, herbaceous scent and is often used in crisp, clean-smelling blends for home and evening routines. The aroma feels lively and clarifying, making it especially useful when you want a fresher, greener profile in a diffuser or well-diluted body blend. This is a concentrated essential oil and must be diluted before skin use.

♡ Why we love it: African Wormwood has a clean, vivid herbal character that feels practical and easy to work with. It adds real freshness to home blends and pairs beautifully with citrus and pine when you want something crisp rather than sweet.
