Application Recommendations:

• Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before widespread use to check for any individual sensitivity.
• The recommended usage level of Marshmallow Root Extract Concentrate in cosmetic formulations typically ranges from 1% to 10%, depending on the desired effect and the specific product.
• For water-based formulations, the extract can be directly incorporated. For oil-based formulations, it may be beneficial to pre-dissolve the extract in a small amount of water or glycerin.
• Ensure thorough mixing of the extract into the formulation for even distribution of its beneficial properties.
• Store the extract in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and moisture in a tightly sealed container.
• Consider the pH of your final formulation, as extreme pH values may affect the stability of the mucilage in the extract. The optimal pH range for most cosmetic applications is between 4.0 and 7.0.
• Marshmallow root extract can be combined with other soothing and hydrating ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, and hyaluronic acid for enhanced benefits.
