White Genepi Extract

INCI Name: Artemisia Umbelliformis Extract

A Swiss Alpine botanical rich in phenolic acids and flavonoids that provides antioxidant support and helps defend against everyday environmental oxidative stress.

Why This Ingredient Matters

White Genepi is an Alpine botanical adapted to high-altitude environmental conditions and naturally contains chlorogenic-acid derivatives, flavonoids, and tannins.

These compounds contribute to its antioxidant activity, making White Genepi especially useful within formulas designed to support healthy-looking skin exposed to daily environmental stress.

Why Formulation Matters

Antioxidant botanicals work best as part of a broader system.

Luzern combines White Genepi with ingredients such as Vitamin C, peptides, botanical oils, Hyaluronic Acid, and other Alpine extracts so its antioxidant contribution supports the overall purpose of the formula rather than functioning in isolation.
