Marshmallow Root Powder
Our marshmallow root powder is made from the dried roots of the Althaea officinalis plant. Rich in mucilage, it forms a soothing gel when mixed with liquid. When consumed as a tea, the mucilage coats mucous membranes and may help calm a dry cough or sore throat.
The root also offers antioxidants that support overall wellness. In hair care, marshmallow root is cherished for its ability to detangle and moisturise; adding it to conditioners or DIY masks gives hair slip and reduces breakage.
This versatile powder can also be used to create natural skin soothers and homemade marshmallow sweets.
