Althaea Rosea Root Extract

moisturising anti-ageing

overview

Marshmallow root extract is a soothing and lightly emollient plant extract that helps maintain skin's hydration by offsetting the rise of enzymes that break down hyaluronic acid. It contains skin-smoothing polysaccharides like glucuronic acid, rhamnose, and galactose. Marshmallow root has been used internally to relieve dry cough resulting from mucosal/throat irritation. It is also found in Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner, which is formulated with a base of various botanical extracts to balance the skin’s pH level and provide full nourishment to the skin. It also contains Phyto-oligo, a patented pairing of Aloe Leaf Extract and Althaea Rosea Root Extract, to provide moisturization and improve the absorption rate of the product.
