Marshmallow

Marsh elm is a common plant with remarkable healing and care properties. Its properties were appreciated as early as the Middle Ages, when it was used to treat respiratory infections, hemorrhagic blemishes and fight parasitic infections.

The herbal raw material of elm is the flowers, abundant in tannins, flavonoids, phenolic glycosides, organic acids, essential oils and mineral salts. These compounds are responsible for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.

In cosmetics, its positive effects on the skin are used. By inhibiting the synthesis of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, responsible for the production of natural sebum, marsh elm extract has the ability to inhibit excessive sebaceous gland activity. This leads to a reduction in the secretion of sebum, the natural lube of human skin.

Additional ability to narrow enlarged pores and antibacterial action prevent the formation of new pus and acne lesions. The use of the product with the addition of mud elm makes the skin smooth and dull, full of freshness and natural vitality.
