Description
Organic Mallow Extract – Softening, Soothing and Hydration for Delicate Skin
Mallow Extract is an extremely gentle botanical ingredient, obtained by macerating the flowers of Malva sylvestris in a vegetable glycerin base. Renowned for its high mucilage content, this certified organic extract acts as a true "plant dressing", providing the skin with a fine protective barrier and an immediate feeling of comfort. It is the preferred choice for formulations intended for sensitive, reactive or dry skin, and is equally appreciated in baby care products due to its safety profile and high tolerance.
Ingredients (INCI): Glycerin*, Aqua, Malva Sylvestris Flower Extract*.
*Ingredient from organic farming.

Botanical Profile and Composition
Mallow has been used since antiquity for its emollient properties, its secret lying in the complex substances that form a protective film on the skin’s surface:
- Mucilage: Polysaccharides capable of retaining large amounts of water, providing superior hydration and a smoothing effect.
- Flavonoids and Anthocyanins: Compounds with antioxidant roles that help protect the skin against external aggressors.
- Tannins: Provide a mild astringent effect and help soothe irritation.
- Vitamins (A, B, C, E): Essential nutrients for maintaining the health and radiance of the epidermis.
Main Properties
- Emollient and Moisturizing: Refreshes the skin and prevents transepidermal water loss by forming a protective film.
- Soothing and Comforting: Reduces sensations of itching, dryness or discomfort, making it ideal for slightly irritated skin.
- Softening: Leaves the skin silky to the touch, visibly improving the texture of rough or dehydrated areas.
- Hair Conditioner: Adds shine to the hair and helps soothe sensitive or dry scalp.
Applications
- Moisturizing creams, serums and lotions for sensitive or dry skin.
- Care products for babies and children (creams, cleansing gels).

- Alcohol-free facial toners and gentle micellar waters.
- Shampoos and hair masks for irritated scalp or fragile hair.

these extracts are very easy to use and are a must have for any complexion. I have spotty and slightly dry skin. After use it is soft and brighter
It is my favorite extract and the one I use the most. Very gentle, soothing and moisturizing!
It soothes irritated and sensitive skin and, it's a very effective ingredient for couperose too. I highly recommend!
I'm very excited about this extract, it is almost in my products for sensitive and reactive skin (creams, toners, cleansers, cleansers, cleansers foam)
I liked I use Nalba extract in Eye cream, Face cream, Make-up removers Ecocert Greenlife certified according to Ecocert standard
An essential ingredient in my cleansing lotion as well as in my day cream. It is very effective for couperose.
I use it in anti-wrinkle eye creams. It moisturizes and soothes the fine skin around the eyes.
A very blind extract, suitable for sensitive skin.I use it in skin cleansing foams and creams
It can be used for sensitive skin with confidence , it is good soothing and moisturizing.
Biological active with anti-inflammatory action, has anti-wrinkle effect and leaves the skin clean and velvety . I recommend
I would also have a suggestion, even a request, if you could package this extract also in 100 ml or 250ml quantities. I think it would be useful for many of those who use this very beneficial product for the skin. Thank you.
Moisturizing, soothing, anti-inflammatory. Wonderful effects in antiaging day cream, I've been using it for a long time, visible effects
Along with other active ingredients that brighten the complexion, it's indispensable in day and night creams. It has a moisturizing and soothing effect.
Un extract ok, for sensitive skin is very good, is very mild and can be used in almost any product.
I discovered the benefits of nalba extract when making hand sanitizer. It leaves the skin so smooth and silky soft and I fell hopelessly in love with this product. If it came in 100ml it would be wonderful.
a miraculous extract that I added to a cream I made for a friend who gets freckles in the summer, a great effect!
Walnut extract has a gentle action. I also use it in skin care applications for children or people with sensitive skin and in intimate hygiene compositions.
The nalba extract moisturizes the skin very well, leaving it velvety soft. I use it to prepare my cleanser.
It is an important element in my body cream. With its help I now have moisturized skin most of the time. I highly recommend it.
