adults • Skin contact product
For adults, marshmallow root extract is generally safe when used on the skin. It is usually used to soothe and moisturize and has a very low risk for cancer, allergy, or reproductive harm.
Use products with this extract as directed on the label. If you’ve never used it before, try a small patch on the inside of your forearm and wait 24 hours to check for any reaction. Avoid applying to open cuts or badly broken skin. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a known plant or herb allergy, check with your healthcare provider before using.
Although overall concerns are low, some people may still have skin sensitivity or an allergic reaction. The safety classification from Environment Canada indicates it is not expected to be toxic, and ingredient data shows low concern for cancer, allergies, and developmental/reproductive effects. Stop use and seek medical advice if you get persistent redness, itching, swelling, or other signs of an allergic reaction. Keep products out of reach of children and avoid contact with eyes.
