White Willow Bark | Organic │ Kosher

Known scientifically as Salix alba, its bark is replete with salicin, which the body converts into salicylic acid—a natural predecessor of the modern-day aspirin.

For many generations, our ancestors relied on this remarkable bark for pain relief and to combat fevers. But it's not just a mere painkiller; its properties extend to the realm of skincare as well.

Rich in tannins, phenolic acids, flavonoids, and various minerals, White Willow Bark is also celebrated for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-microbial traits. This makes it a darling ingredient in natural skincare products, especially for those battling oily skin and acne.
