ESC LABORATOIRE Marshmallow

Marshmallow, a soothing plant source of mucilage: Marshmallow is rich in mucilage which soothes the respiratory tract and sensitive stomach.

Mucilages are sticky substances that swell up on contact with water and have softening and lubricating properties.

Marshmallow can also be used externally to soothe irritations, insect bites or cracks.

Marshmallow paste can be extracted (by peeling the roots), which can be used in confectionery, but this is not the same as industrial marshmallow!
