It performs activities similar to Mallow of which it enhances its effectiveness. The importance of Altea in cosmetic use is linked, in fact, to its high content in these substances with a strong moisturizing and anti-inflammatory action.  Has the ability to absorb considerable amount of water generating fluid gels (hydrocolloids) which, when applied on the skin surface, they form a thin, elastic, transparent film with isoepidermal pH, capable of transferring water to the stratum corneum (outer layer of the skin), giving the skin elasticity and hydration.
