Marshmallow Extract (Althaea Officinalis Root Extract)

Description

Althaea Officinalis Root Extract is an extract from the root of the marshmallow plant, rich in mucilage, pectin, flavonoids, and anthocyanins. In cosmetics, it is used for its softening, soothing, moisturizing, and protective properties. It is ideal for sensitive, dry, irritated, or inflamed skin, and also helps to reduce redness, itching, and tightness. Its action is similar to a natural "soothing shield" that forms a light protective film on the skin, retaining moisture and reducing sensitivity to external irritants. It is often used in baby cosmetics, after-shave products, after-sun creams, and products for atopic skin.
