White Willow Bark Extract Salicin Powder

Product Description

What Is White Willow Bark Extract ？

White willow bark extract is a natural ingredient extracted from the bark of the weeping willow (Salix babylonica L.), a member of the Salicaceae family. Its main active ingredient is salicin, with a purity typically ranging from 15% to 98%. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is often used for testing. Also known as willow bark extract, salicin is converted into salicylic acid in the body, exhibiting anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties. It is clinically used to relieve symptoms such as arthritis, back pain, and colds and fevers.

Active ingredients in white willow bark extract

• Salicin

Salicin derives its name from Salix, the scientific name of the willow tree. It is the natural source of salicylic acid, a skin-care ingredient with multiple benefits. Salicin reduces irritation and inflammation in severe acne conditions. This natural exfoliant not only rejuvenates your skin, it also helps to fight the signs of aging.

• Tannins

Tannins are astringents that tighten your skin and help to reduce the size of your skin pores. They also control excess oil production which reduces the blackheads and whiteheads on your skin. They also help in controlling excessive sweat secretion.

• Polyphenols

These phytochemicals (derived from plants) are potent antioxidants which scavenge the free radicals present in the skin, preventing DNA damage, which may lead to skin cancer.Polyphenols also kill germs and fight inflammation, thus helping to alleviate many skin disorders.

• Flavonoids

These are a special group of polyphenols present in the willow bark extract. Flavonoids protect your skin from photodamage caused due to prolonged exposure to the UV rays of the sun. UV rays increase the oxidative stress in the skin resulting in premature signs of aging such as wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.

White Willow Bark Extract Health Benefits

• Skin Health

Salicin in white willow bark can reduce redness and inflammation, helping to improve mild acne and blackheads. Compared to synthetic salicylic acid, it’s less irritating and more suitable for sensitive skin.

White willow bark extract gently removes dead skin cells from the skin’s surface, improving keratin metabolism and leaving skin smoother and more refined. It also avoids the side effects of traditional salicylic acid, such as peeling and drying.

• Anti-inflammatory and Antibacterial Properties

Salicin inhibits cyclooxygenase activity and reduces prostaglandin production, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory effects. It has beneficial effects on skin inflammation such as acne and eczema. It also inhibits pathogenic microorganisms such as Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus, assisting in the treatment of infectious skin conditions.

• Antioxidant Properties

Salicin can regulate the expression of genes associated with skin aging, promote collagen synthesis, increase skin elasticity, and reduce wrinkle formation. Its flavonoids have antioxidant properties, scavenging free radicals and delaying cellular aging.

• Pain Relief

White willow bark extract contains salicin, which has analgesic properties similar to aspirin and can be used to treat headaches, arthritis, neuralgia, and other conditions. It reduces pain by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators.

• Joint Comfort and Mobility

White willow bark is often celebrated for its role in supporting joint health. Its natural compounds help soothe the joints and maintain mobility. A systematic review of studies suggests that individuals incorporating white willow bark into their health regimen may experience improved joint comfort, allowing for a more active and discomfort-free lifestyle.

• Cardiovascular Health

Emerging research suggests that white willow bark may also contribute to cardiovascular health by helping to maintain healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels. This is particularly beneficial for those looking to support heart health naturally.
