For adults, marshmallow root extract applied to the skin is generally safe and considered low risk. It is commonly used to soothe and moisturize skin.
If you are an adult and want to try a product with this extract: test a small amount on the inside of your wrist or elbow and wait 24 hours to check for redness or itching. Use as directed on the product label. Stop use if you develop irritation, a rash, or other discomfort.
Watch for signs of skin allergy or irritation (redness, itching, swelling). Although overall concerns are low, people with known allergies to marshmallow or related plants should avoid it. Government safety assessments (Environment Canada) list it as not expected to be toxic, but still discontinue use and seek advice if you have a strong reaction.
