Ingredients Glossary

Rich in mucilage polysaccharides, flavonoids, and phenolic acids. Marshmallow leaf forms a protective, comforting veil on the skin while helping to soothe and support barrier function.

Although its mucilage compounds are primarily water-soluble, the oil infusion draws out lipid-compatible fractions such as phytosterols and phenolic compounds, which help calm irritation and reinforce the skin’s natural lipid barrier.

​
