Marshmallow Root has been prized for its healing properties for thousands of years, with roots in Ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman medicine where it was used to soothe sore throats, wounds and inflamed skin.
Native to the marshy regions of Europe, Western Asia and North Africa, its power lies in its high mucilage content, a natural gel-like substance that coats, softens and protects. Today, it is a popular ingredient in natural and organic skin care across the UK, valued for its ability to deeply hydrate, calm and support the skin barrier in sensitive and reactive skin.
