Willow Bark Extract - Nature's Salicylic Acid

Why we chose Organic Willow Bark Extract instead of synthetic form of Salicylic Acid for our Rose Soufflé Cloud Masque...

Rose Soufflé Cloud Masque
White willow bark extract has been utilized for centuries as a traditional remedy for various ailments, including pain and inflammation. One of its key components, salicin, is structurally similar to salicylic acid, a common ingredient in skincare products known for its acne-fighting properties.

Efficacy in Acne Treatment...

White willow bark extract exhibits anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and exfoliating properties, making it an effective treatment for acne. Its salicin content is converted to salicylic acid in the body, which helps to unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and prevent acne breakouts. Studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in reducing acne lesions and improving overall skin appearance.

Gentler on the Skin...

Unlike synthetic salicylic acid, our organic white willow bark extract is gentler on the skin, making it suitable for individuals with sensitive skin types. It provides similar benefits without causing excessive dryness, irritation, or redness commonly associated with salicylic acid.

Natural and Sustainable...

Our organic white willow bark extract offers a natural and sustainable alternative to synthetic salicylic acid. It is sourced from the bark of the white willow tree (Salix alba) through environmentally friendly extraction methods, aligning with our mission to keep Gressa formulations complex and efficacious, yet, sustainable and closest to nature.

Our organic white willow bark extract serves as a compelling natural alternative to salicylic acid in skincare formulations. Its efficacy in treating acne, gentle nature on the skin, and sustainable sourcing make it a valuable ingredient for individuals seeking effective and eco-conscious skincare solutions.

Description

Meet the Rose Soufflé, a collagen-boosting, antioxidant-packed masque designed to heal, hydrate, and rejuvenate the skin. We first introduced this innovative formula over a decade ago, as part of a 4 step Spring treatment series. This year, we are bringing this powerhouse masque back as a permanent part of our skincare collection.

The pillow-like texture of this gorgeous treatment feels like floating on a cloud of rose petals. The spotlight of the Rose Soufflé is the harmonious sweetness of honey mixed with the Queen of Flowers, the Rose. Potent yet skin soothing ingredients like MSM and Rose harmonize the skin and the senses. Willow Bark is a natural BHA alternative that is extracted from mature willow bark and works like a gentle form of salicylic acid to help to unclog and minimize the appearance of pores. Evening Primrose protects and replenishes skin with high levels of antioxidants.
