Marshmallow Root Powder from Monterey Bay Herb Co is Althaea officinalis sourced from Albania, a member of the mallow family alongside cotton and okra. The root is milled to a fine, creamy off-white powder that is Kosher (STAR-K) and SQF certified, with a pleasant scent and a hint of sweetness. Soap and skincare crafters use marshmallow root powder in handmade soaps, shampoos, conditioners, ointments, lozenges, and skin creams, and it is a long-standing ingredient in homemade natural mouthwashes. In the kitchen, the powder works as a gentle thickening and flavoring agent in foods, sauces, and beverages where a smooth texture is desired. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
