Mallow extract

In the INCI it is indicated as Malva sylvestris leaf water. Wild mallow (Malva sylvestris) is a plant belonging to the Malvaceae family, widespread in Europe, North Africa and Asia. Its name derives from the Latin “malva”, meaning “soft”: an attribute conferred on it for its proven emollient properties. Long known as a medicinal plant (the first documented use dates back to 3000 BC), it is one of the most used botanical species in herbal medicine and cosmetics, as it boasts an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant action. By virtue of its extreme mildness, it is also ideal for the treatment of sensitive skin.
