White Willow Bark Extract Powder

What is White Willow Bark Extract Powder?

White Willow Bark Extract is extracted and spray dried from the bark of the white willow plant, family Willowaceae. Its main active ingredient is salicin, which is in the state of a fine brownish-yellow or white powder, with low levels of brownish-yellow and high levels of over 90% white powder. Salicin has aspirin-like properties and is a potent anti-inflammatory ingredient traditionally used to heal wounds and relieve muscle pain. Studies have found that salicin is an inhibitor of oxidase (NADH oxidase), which has anti-wrinkle, increases skin radiance and elasticity, reduces pigmentation, increases skin moisture, and other effects in cosmetics with anti-aging, exfoliation, oil control, and acne skin care effects.

Benefits:

Anti-inflammatory

The main active ingredients in White Willow Bark Extract powder are salicin and dextran. Salicin is an inhibitor of NADH oxidase, which has anti-wrinkle and anti-aging effects, and can increase skin luster and elasticity; dextran can improve immunity and activate cellular vitality, achieving anti-inflammatory and anti-wrinkle effects. Salicin has sound anti-inflammatory effects due to its aspirin-like properties.

Acne Relief

Willow Bark Extract can be used in cosmetics and personal care products due to its astringent, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties. It contains salicylic acid, a BHA, a natural exfoliant used in several acne treatments because it helps the skin shed dead cells while clearing pores. It also contains phenolic acids, including salicin, salicortin flavonoids, tannins, and minerals that help rejuvenate the skin.

Anti-aging

Salicin, the main active ingredient in White Willow Bark Extract powder, not only influences the regulation of genes in the skin but also regulates a group of genes related to the biological process of skin aging, which is known as the functional "youthful gene cluster". In addition, salicin plays an important role in the production and maintenance of collagen, one of the key proteins in the skin, thus increasing skin elasticity and achieving anti-wrinkle effects.

Exfoliation

Salicylin has the effect of gently removing dead skin cells on the skin surface, accelerating the shedding of aging skin cells, regulating the physiological activity of the skin stratum corneum, and has a regulatory effect on improving dandruff.

Pain Relief

Salicin or salicin is believed to be the source of white willow bark's anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving abilities. The pain-relieving power of white willow bark is usually slower to take effect but lasts longer than the effects of common aspirin products. One trial found that a single compound containing 100 ng of salicin was effective in improving pain relief in arthritis patients after two months of continuous use.

Soothing menstrual cramps

Often, menstrual cramps are usually the result of endometrial inflammation and prostaglandin-induced contractions. Willow Bark Extract is thought to regulate prostaglandin production and reduce inflammation, which not only helps to relieve cramps but also PMS symptoms.
