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.
