FOLLOW THE MARSHMALLOW TO GIVE YOUR SKIN CLOUDY CARE AND A NATURAL GLOW

Marshmallows have become increasingly popular in the beauty world lately. And now we’re not talking about the delicious confectionery, but Marshmallow root extract, also known as «marsh mallow» plant of the Malvaceae family, which has long been utilized by herbalists for medicinal and cosmetic uses.

Marshmallow root extract is associated with Marshmallows confections not for its name but also because of the airy, soft, melting substance.

Why has this ingredient become popular again you may ask?

It is extremely relevant today since it is rich in antioxidants, such as vitamin C, as well as flavonoids, which help to reliably defend the skin against free radical damage and environmental aggressors, including bad ecology and sunburn.

It also softens and soothes the skin while maintaining moisture balance. Its high mucilage content (the same as in oats) gives it protective qualities. In addition to all these benefits, lotions featuring marshmallow root have a silky texture that melts easily and sinks deeply into the skin, leaving you feeling pampered & beloved!

BIT OF HISTORY

Marshmallow root extract was widely used by ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans usually as a tincture, powder, or syrup – to treat various (including skin) inflammations, colds, and throat, to strengthen immunity, for broken bones, stomach diseases, eye flushes, to treat burns and insect bites, as a painkiller, etc.

As Marshmallow Root also had a beneficial effect on the skin – helped to get rid of some skin diseases, inflammation, and redness, accelerated the regeneration of damaged skin, and slowed down its aging, over time it became very popular as a cosmetic ingredient that could be found in many creams and lotions.

Then with the advent of many new cosmetic ingredients, it was unfairly forgotten for a while and “put on pause” by manufacturers of skincare cosmetics, to now return as a favorite.
