Malva Sylvestris Extract is a unique and special ingredient that has both soothing as well as exfoliating effects on the skin. It is mild on the surface and contains tannins that detach the dead skin layer, inducing exfoliation. Further, it can shrink the appearance of large pores and benefit the overall look and feel of the skin. Malva Sylvestris is the scientific name for the mallow plant and this natural ingredient works wonders in the personal care industry. It is rich in tannins, vitamins, and polysaccharides that result in bright, glowing, and smooth skin. Malva Sylvestris Extract also has conditioning benefits for the hair. Additionally, it is a slightly opaque viscous liquid that is yellow to brown in color.
