The double elegance of Marsh Mallow

Marsh Mallow

LATIN NAME: Althaea officinalis
ACTION: refreshing, softening and moisturising

The corolla, made up of five heart-shaped petals, immediately wins you over with its delicate colours. The most curious aspect, however, is another. Marsh Mallow is “dressed” in two different types of leaves: the lower ones, which are more or less round, have five points, while the upper ones have three. In phytocosmetics it is known for its emollient and decongestant properties and proves, thanks to its richness in mucilages, starch, sugars and pectins, a valuable ally of the body's epidermis.
