2. Active Ingredients

Hollyhock Flavonoids and Anthocyanins

The core active ingredients of hollyhock extract are natural hollyhock flavonoids and anthocyanin compounds.

Hollyhock extract also contains abundant natural polyphenols, plant mucilage and organic acids, featuring a mild and fresh natural plant fragrance. These ingredients not only endow the product with a warm and delicate natural nourishing texture, but also deliver excellent effects on moisturizing and nourishing, metabolic regulation, mild soothing and hydrating conditioning. They gently nourish the skin and physical condition, bringing multiple maintenance benefits.
