Marshmallow Extract 10:1 by Comext

Marshmallow Extract 10:1 (Comext) is a concentrated botanical extract powder produced from marshmallow root (Althaea officinalis L.) and supplied as a bulk ingredient for B2B manufacturing. It is standardized by extract ratio (10:1), meaning it is manufactured to deliver a concentrated dry extract relative to starting plant material, supporting consistent use in formulation and production.

Marshmallow root is widely used in nutraceutical, functional food, and personal care product development—especially in demulcent-style, throat-comfort, and digestive comfort product concepts—because the root is naturally rich in mucilage polysaccharides that can form viscous solutions when hydrated. Finished product positioning, claims, and labeling should be determined by the brand owner and validated for the target market. 

Applications

Commonly used in:

• Dietary supplements (capsules, tablets, powdered blends, stick packs)
• Functional foods & beverages (instant drink mixes, dry premixes, wellness powders)
• Herbal and nutraceutical formulations positioned around “mucilage/demulcent-style” ingredient concepts (claims must be market-compliant)
• Cosmetic and personal care formulations where botanical extracts are used for texture/feel or ingredient-led positioning (use-case dependent and subject to regional cosmetic requirements)
