Verdict
Thujone content is neurotoxic at high doses and must be quantified and controlled. Sesquiterpene lactones are potent contact sensitizers. Compositae allergy cross-reactivity risk exists. Essential oil chemotype variability affects safety profile.
US Note
Not specifically restricted by FDA for cosmetic use. Artemisia extract is listed as GRAS for food with thujone-free specification.
