What Is Marshmallow Root?
Marshmallow Root (Althaea Officinalis) has been used for centuries for its exceptional soothing and protective properties. The root is rich in mucilage, a gel-like substance that forms a protective layer on skin and provides intense moisturisation.
This botanical is particularly valued for calming irritated, sensitive, or inflamed skin conditions. Its gentle nature makes it suitable for even the most reactive skin types.
