Hydrolates, or floral waters, obtained from herbs are using for various purposes in medicinal and cosmetic industries. Biochemical characterization of many Artemisia species their hydrolates, which has not been described before, is important determining unique properties use as the main component cosmetics. Five including absinthium, serotina, nitrosa, sublessingiana, pauciflora were studied quantitatively qualitatively, content moisture, ash, extractive substances was determined. Moreover, mineral composition content, consist macroelements (K, Na, Mg, Ca) microelements (Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn) determined atomic adsorption spectroscopy. Their antioxidant evaluated DPPH, ORAC, TBARS assays. Among them, A. nitrosa showed significant inhibition LDL oxidation (IC50 = 3.1 μM) assay, along with prolonged lag time conjugated diene formation (>180 min) substantial protection against REM assay. The hydrolates ultrasonic construction optimal parameters. behavior at phase boundaries – surface tension, wetting emulsifying properties. It revealed that contains surface-active components. Measurements they have increased hydrophilizing and, therefore, moisturizing ability, turn makes it possible to introduce them into In result, cosmetics such a cream, gel, shampoo based on organoleptic studied.
