Willow Bark Extract
What Willow Bark Extract is & what it does
A willow bark extract that provides natural salicylates for gentle exfoliation and helps calm and clarify blemish-prone skin. It is mild and antioxidant-rich.
What does Willow Bark Extract do in skincare?
Willow Bark Extract is commonly used in skincare as a soothing and conditioning botanical, and it naturally contains salicin, a compound related to salicylic acid. It is often included to support gentle exfoliation and a smoother-looking complexion. It typically appears at modest levels in serums and toners.
Is Willow Bark Extract safe for sensitive skin?
Willow Bark Extract is generally regarded as a gentle botanical and is often chosen for milder formulas. Because it is related to salicylates, people with aspirin or salicylate sensitivity may want to be cautious. A patch test is a reasonable precaution for reactive skin.
Is Willow Bark Extract natural and vegan?
Willow Bark Extract is plant-derived, made from the bark of the willow tree, so it is natural in origin and suitable for vegans. It is not animal-derived. Whether a finished product is fully vegan depends on its other ingredients.
