Marshmallow Vanishing Crème Marshmallow? Burt's Bees have used the dried root of the perennial marshmallow (althea officinalis) for its succulent, emollient properties, used for millenia to soothe and tone the skin's surface. Vanishing? They call it 'Vanishing Crème' because this 99% natural daytime facial moisturizer is so light and silky it vanishes into your skin, leaving a smooth and moisturized surface that's perfect for a healthy daytime glow.
