MALLOW
MALVA SYLVESTRIS FLOWER EXTRACT
ORIGINS
Mallow flowers are present in the temperate zones of Europe, Asia, North America and North Africa.
Mallow has an incredible soothing and anti-irritant action that make it particularly well suited to sensitive skins. It is used to complement medical treatments in the case of inflammatory cutaneous disorders such as atopic dermatitis (1), (2). The significant quantities of flavonoids and anthocyanosides it contains give it anti-radical and microcirculation strengthening properties.
