Willow Bark Extract is a time-tested botanical revered for its natural content of salicin, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) precursor known for its ability to exfoliate the skin gently, promote clarity, and reduce inflammation. Derived from the bark of the white willow tree, this water-soluble extract is a multifunctional ingredient ideal for formulations targeting oily, acne-prone, or congested skin.
Rich in tannins, flavonoids, and phenolic acids, Willow Bark offers both purifying and soothing effects, making it a favorite in modern clean beauty formulas. Its keratolytic action helps clear dead skin cells, unclog pores, and refine texture, without the irritation typically associated with synthetic acids. At the same time, it helps reduce redness and calm inflamed skin, supporting barrier health.
