Product Details

FEATURES AND BENEFITS 

A Gentle Exfoliant: White Willow Bark Botanical Extract is inspired by the resilience of the willow tree. Naturally rich in salicin, it gently encourages cell turnover, smoothing texture while keeping skin comfortable. 

Pore Perfector: This extract contains natural tannins with astringent properties to refine the look of pores, regulate oil, and reduce visible shine. Ideal for skin care for oily and combination types.    

Soothing Shade: White Willow Bark helps calm visible redness and discomfort, leaving skin looking even-toned and refreshed.  

Timeless Strength: Flavonoids in White Willow Bark Botanical Extract deliver antioxidant benefits. They help protect the skin from exposure to the elements that can contribute to premature aging.  


DESCRIPTION 

A symbol of renewal for centuries, the White Willow (Salix alba) is known for graceful branches and enduring vitality. White Willow Bark Botanical Extract is sourced from the bark of this deciduous tree, native to Europe and parts of Asia, and named for the pale underside of its leaves.

Rich in salicin — the natural precursor to salicylic acid — this extract offers gentle exfoliation, helping improve skin texture, clarity, and balance. Its tannins deliver a natural astringent effect, while flavonoids offer antioxidant support. Together, these compounds help refine the complexion, calm irritation, and support skin’s defenses against daily environmental stressors.  


DIRECTIONS & SUGGESTED USAGE

  • Refining Facial Care: Use White Willow Bark Botanical Extract at 0.5–2% in cleansers, toners, or leave-on treatments to smooth skin, refine pores, and promote a clearer appearance.
  • Branch Out to Body Care: Incorporate at 0.5–2% into scrubs, body washes, or targeted treatments to gently encourage cell renewal and maintain balanced skin.
  • Refreshment for Roots: Blend White Willow Bark Botanical Extract at 0.5–2% into shampoos, scalp masks, or tonics to help remove buildup and maintain a clean, healthy-feeling scalp.
  • Formulation Notes: Add during the cool-down stage (below 40–50°C / 104–122°F) to preserve heat-sensitive compounds. Suggested usage rate is 0.5–2% in finished cosmetic products, following supplier guidelines.
