Functions
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Soothing
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.
Astringent
Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.
Conditions Skin
Reduces Inflammation
Wound Healing
Antioxidant Protection
Traditional Use
Mallow flowers have been valued in European, Middle Eastern, and Asian traditional medicine for centuries as a soothing and mucilage-rich ingredient for sensitive skin, irritation, and wound healing.
