Marhmallow (Altahea officinalis) root powder
100% pure, organic certified herbal powder.
Origin: EU
Properties
Marshmallow root is an essential natural ingredient for the beauty of hair and skin.
Containing mucilage, the herb transforms to a gel-like substance that forms a protective layer and seals in moisture - making it an ultimate moisturizer and popular choice for dry and dehydrated skin.
The richness in tannins and flavonoids of marshmallow powder makes it an ally of choice for anti-aging and revitalizing skin treatment. Marshmallow is also great at soothing and repairing sensitive skin or as an after-sun treatment.
Natural hair beauty
Marshmallow powder is an excellent natural detangler for the hair.
It works really well as conditioner: used as a hair mask with other plant powders,
it brings shine and soothes sensitive or irritated scalps.
Usage
- For a water-based infusion, put the herb in a jar at approximately 2 teaspoons per cup, add cold water and allow it to steep overnight or for several hours.
- For an oil-based infusion, fill the jar about ¾ full with herb, pour cold oil (olive oil, etc) over and allow to steep for at least 2 weeks.
