Description

White Willow Bark Powder is a finely milled bark powder identified in the source as S. alba , traditionally used as a natural source of salicin. It is used in herbal preparations for pain-comfort routines and in skincare formulations where salicin-rich botanicals are wanted. Internally, white willow bark is traditionally used to help ease headaches, backache, nerve pain, joint discomfort, inflammation and menstrual cramps.

Topically, the powder can be used to make glycerites, infusions or tinctures for problem-skin, acne-prone and irritation-prone skincare products. Why we love it: White willow bark powder is versatile across herbal and skincare use. It is easy to measure into extracts, masks, soaps and body-care formulations where a salicin-containing botanical is useful.
