Size: Default Title
One plant. Dozens of uses. Marshmallow root's secret is mucilage — a naturally occurring polysaccharide that coats, soothes, and conditions wherever it's applied. In your cup it makes a silky herbal tea. In your hair it's a natural slip agent that detangles without silicones. On your skin it moisturises without harsh chemicals. Herb & Heal's powder is precision-milled from certified organic Althaea officinalis root — pure, fine, and ready for any application.
About this item
- USDA Organic Marshmallow Root Powder – Fine-Milled Althaea Officinalis: This pure organic marshmallow root is precision-milled into a silky-fine marshmallow powder – never coarse root bits or fibrous chunks. Rich in natural mucilage, the demulcent polysaccharide that gives this herb its soothing, coating, and slip-producing properties across every application. Each 8 oz resealable pouch delivers approximately 90+ servings for tea use – ideal as marshmallow root loose leaf powder for herbal teas, DIY hair care, skincare infusions, capsule filling, and herbal remedies. Certified Organic, Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Additive-Free.
- Fine-Milled Althaea Officinalis for Tea & Herbal Infusions: Naturally rich in mucilage — the polysaccharide that gives marshmallow root its characteristic thick, slippery texture when steeped. Cold-infuse 1 tsp overnight in room-temperature water for maximum mucilage extraction and a smooth, mild herbal drink. Traditional herbal practice has used this plant for centuries as a botanical tea ingredient.
- Marshmallow Root for Hair & Skin – Natural Slip Agent for DIY Beauty: Marshmallow root hair products deliver exceptional natural slip and detangling through rich polysaccharide content – providing conditioning, not thick gel consistency. Use as a weekly conditioning hair rinse (steep 2 tbsp in warm water, strain, apply after shampoo) for enhanced shine, reduced frizz, and scalp hydration. Infuse into face masks or serums for gentle moisturizing without harsh chemicals. Also works as a natural marshmallow dusting powder for skin comfort. Expect a silky, slippery texture rather than a thick paste – this conditioning slip is what makes it a botanical hair care staple.
- Organic Marshmallow Root Tea, Smoothies & Culinary Recipes: Brew your morning marshmallow tea ritual – steep 1 tsp in hot water for 10–15 minutes, or cold-brew overnight for a naturally thicker, milder, less earthy infusion. Mixes into hot water without clumping. Blend with slippery elm, licorice root, chamomile, or ginger for custom loose leaf herbal blends. Add marshmallow root powder for cooking, baking, smoothies, or protein shakes – dissolves smoothly into liquids. Fill your own marshmallow root extract capsules or create homemade marshmallow root tincture and lozenges. Earthy, mild flavor pairs beautifully with honey, lemon, or mint.
- Lab-Tested Purity & Freshness – Sourced Dried Marshmallow Root Organic by Herb & Heal: Every batch is third-party tested for potency, heavy metals, microbial contaminants, and pesticide residues – verified safe for daily long-term use. Non-irradiated, filler-free, no artificial additives or chemical processing. Many customers notice benefits building over 2–3 weeks of consistent use. Resealable zip-lock pouch protects against moisture and oxidation – store cool and dry away from sunlight. Consistent quality trusted by thousands of herbalists and DIY formulators.

Received our marshmallow powder and enjoying in our tea. Plan to also use for homeade marshmallows also. Received package promptly. Thank you
This is great, but... it looks white, it turns brown when wet. Followed the recipe for making marshmallows. Even after whipping for 15 minutes, it only lightened to a beige. So, I decided to throw in some Rice Crispies. At first, it looked OK. But I left it on the counter to cool. The rice crispness absorbed the mixture like a sponge. By the next morning, it looked and tasted like a sponge. So, if you're an adult and aren't looking for an overly sweet, healthy snack, the recipe for marshmallows is great. But, if you think it is a healthy snack for kids, you will be sorry disappointed. I will remake the recipie and not say anything that would compare it to customary marshmallows. The Maple syrup taste is nice. The treat is nice. A great snack that soothes your stomach. But, it tastes nothing like the whipped sugar crap that are called marshmallows.
I add the marshmallow powder to my Stinging Nettle tea!
I’m so glad I ordered this marshmallow root powder! The texture is super fine and mixes easily into both tea and hair masks. I’ve been using it for almost a week now — drinking it in the morning for digestion and also adding a bit to my DIY hair conditioner. My scalp feels calmer, and my hair is softer and easier to manage. You can really tell it’s pure and fresh — no strange smell or additives.The bag is generous in size and well sealed, so it stays fresh even after opening. It’s hard to find good quality herbs online, but this one definitely exceeded my expectations. I’ll be reordering for sure!
This package was nice and filled to brim, and I love that it seems like more durable packaging, making it less likely to get damaged during shipping. I followed tbe directions to use this product as conditioner, and it worked swimmingly! I was able to get a nice lather. This product is not like anything I've tried before, so I'm excited to see what the long term use will do for my hair. 2 weeks in, and it feels great. I love how big the bag is. I put some in a jar in order to keep the bag from getting moist. Really a great product!
