Willow bark is a natural source of salicylic acid, derived from salicin, which helps to fight acne and gently cleanse oily skin. Due to its astringent properties, Willow bark extract naturally exfoliates skin and clears pores to give skin a clearer, healthier appearance. Like most plant extracts, willow bark contains flavonoids and tannins—powerful antioxidants that help protect skin from environmental stressors.
