Functions of White Willow Extract
White Willow Extract offers a range of beneficial functions, making it a versatile ingredient for various applications:
Anti-Aging Benefits: White Willow Extract not only affects gene regulation in the skin but also regulates gene clusters associated with the biological processes of skin aging, known as functional "youthful gene clusters." Furthermore, salicin plays a crucial role in the production and maintenance of collagen, a key protein in the skin, thereby increasing skin elasticity and achieving anti-wrinkle benefits.
Exfoliating Benefits: It gently removes dead skin cells from the skin's surface, accelerating the shedding of aging skin cells. It regulates the physiological activity of the skin's stratum corneum, resulting in an even, radiant complexion.
Antibacterial and Anti-Inflammatory Benefits: It has aspirin-like properties and some anti-inflammatory properties, making it useful for relieving facial acne, herpes, and sunburn.
Immune Boosting Benefits: It contains antioxidants such as flavonoids, which can boost the body's immune system and combat free radical damage.
Pain Relief: It contains a component called salicin, which has analgesic effects similar to those of aspirin. Therefore, white willow bark extract can be used to treat various types of pain, including headaches, arthritis, and neuralgia.
Antithrombotic: White willow bark extract also has antithrombotic effects.
Application Areas
White willow bark extract is primarily used in the cosmetics industry.
Acne control: Salicin, the main component of white willow bark extract, dissolves in acid to form salicylic acid, which can dissolve acne and pimples, as seen in the Imeline Pimple Control Toner.
Exfoliation: White Willow Extract removes excess keratin while promoting rapid cell renewal, restoring smooth and delicate skin. Examples include Vanssie Shea Butter Foot Cream and Paula's Choice 2% Salicylic Acid Revitalizing Serum.
Whitening: It softens skin keratin, promotes the exfoliation of old keratin, and promotes the exfoliation of old keratin. Melanin also sheds with the keratin, resulting in a whitening effect that reduces dark spots and accelerates skin cell renewal.
Acne prevention: It acts on the cells in the hair follicle wall, helping to clear clogged follicles and correct abnormal cell shedding. It can prevent pore blockage for mild acne and is most effective against blackheads. Shrink pores: It is fat-soluble and can penetrate deep into the pores along the sebaceous glands that secrete oil, which helps dissolve the old accumulated stratum corneum in the pores and improve the condition of blocked pores. It can therefore block the formation of acne and shrink enlarged pores.
