FSS White Willow Bark Extract

Used for centuries in traditional medicine, Salix alba (white willow) is known for its naturally occurring salicylates—precursors to salicylic acid—and its broad range of therapeutic properties. Sourced from Europe, Asia, and North Africa, white willow bark has been used as an anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic remedy in ancient folk practices and has since gained popularity as a plant-based alternative to aspirin in modern herbal applications.

FSS White Willow Bark Extract is produced through a sustainable upcycling process. The bark is milled and processed via aqueous extraction and filtration to retain its beneficial botanical compounds while removing impurities. The result is a clean, potent, and eco-conscious extract rich in salicin, proanthocyanidins, and flavonoids. These bioactives provide anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant benefits, helping to soothe irritated skin, reduce redness, and support the skin’s natural defenses.

With a gentle yet effective profile, FSS White Willow Bark Extract supports skin homeostasis, reduces oxidative stress, and improves barrier function making it an excellent choice for formulations targeting acne, aging, sensitivity, and environmental stress.
