Willow Bark Extract

Description

Harness the gentle clarifying power of Willow Bark Extract, the botanical ancestor of aspirin, expertly blended into your Build-Your-Own ORY^® skincare, haircare, or handmade soap. Drawn from the bark of white willow (Salix alba) and standardized to salicin, it pairs this soothing salicylate with a rich polyphenol fraction — flavonoids, tannins, and phenolic acids — that reviews show calms inflammation and provides antioxidant and purifying benefits. Gentler than salicylic acid, it calms and refines where stronger exfoliants sting. In your custom toner, serum, cleanser, or calming cream, it soothes redness, helps control blemish-causing bacteria, reduces shine, and gently refines the look of pores. In your custom shampoo or scalp serum, it calms a sensitive, flaky scalp and balances oil. In your handmade soap, its tannins survive saponification for a clarifying bar. Ideal for every skin and hair type, it excels for sensitive, acne-prone, and oily skin and scalps, and it pairs beautifully with Niacinamide and zinc. Customize your cruelty-free formulation for a calm, clear experience from face to scalp. Caution: Avoid if allergic to aspirin or salicylates; not for children under 2. Patch test recommended. If pregnant, consult your physician before use.
