The medicinal functions of Rosaceae are partly attributed to their abundance of phenolics compound. Phenolics possess a wide range of pharmacological activities, such as antioxidants, free-radical scavengers, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antimutagenic, and antidepressant. Several components were isolated from flowers, petals and hips (seed-pot) of R. damascena including terpenes, glycosides, flavonoids, and anthocyanins.

This plant has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory effect . The effect of essential oil and hydroalcoholic extract of R. damascena on rat paw edema induced by carrageenan was demonstrated. Essential oil had no anti-inflammatory effect while the extract could significantly reduce edema which maybe acted by inhibiting the mediators of acuteinflammation. In addition, R. damascena contains vitamin C  which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

In cosmetics and personal care products, ingredients made from Malva sylvestris may be used in many product types including aftershave lotions, baby products, bath products, soaps and detergents, cleansing products, makeup, eye makeup, hair care products and skin care products.

The impact that topical Malva sylvestris use can have on the body is impressive. In fact, for those worried about aging too quickly, or check to the mirror every day for wrinkles, use a gel or cream with mallow as an ingredient and keep your skin looking young and rejuvenated!

The most recent experimental data shows that ethanol and aqueous extracts of E. arvense fertile stems are possessing very high radical scavenging activity towards superoxide anion and hydroxyl radicals. Dominant phenolic compounds  isoquercitrin, apigenin 5-O-glucoside and kaempferol 3-O-glycoside.
