Application Recommendations:

• Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before widespread use to check for any individual sensitivity.
• Incorporate the Marshmallow Root Extract Concentrate at the recommended percentage to achieve the desired soothing and hydrating effects. Adjust the percentage based on your formulation goals.
• Ensure thorough mixing of the extract into the cosmetic base for even distribution of its beneficial properties.
• Store the finished product in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat to maintain its stability.
• When incorporating into emulsions, add during the cool-down phase to preserve the integrity of the extract's active compounds.
• Consider the pH of your final formulation, as extreme pH levels may affect the stability of the natural polysaccharides in the extract. A slightly acidic to neutral pH is generally preferred.
• This extract is water-soluble and easily incorporated into water-based formulations. For oil-based formulations, it may require the use of an emulsifier or co-solvent.
