Mallow extract

Mallow extract (CAS 84082-57-5), derived from Malva sylvestris, is a botanical ingredient used across cosmetics, food, and pharmaceutical formulations for its moisturizing and skin-conditioning properties.

Known commercially as Malva sylvestris ext., it delivers functional humectancy that supports both topical and ingestible product development. In personal care formulations, it is incorporated into face creams and serums.

It is also used in soothing lotions where moisture retention and skin-softening performance are required. Food and beverage manufacturers use it as a flavoring and functional botanical in herbal teas and confectionery.

The extract is frequently found in nutraceutical products and pharmaceutical applications. Healthcare formulators include it in throat lozenges, oral care products, and topical preparations targeting dry or sensitive skin.

It also appears in natural and clean-label cosmetic lines where botanical origin and documented humectant function support marketing and regulatory positioning. Mallow extract is supplied as a liquid or dry powder.

Standard grades include cosmetic-grade and food-grade specifications, with solvent type and concentration varying by supplier. Buyers should confirm extraction solvent and active marker compounds during evaluation.

Standardization levels should be checked when evaluating batches for formulation consistency. This ensures the extract meets the necessary performance criteria for high-quality industrial and commercial manufacturing.
