Functions
Astringent
Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Soothing
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation. Your skin's chill pill — great for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.
Tonic
Soothes Skin
Traditional Use
Willow bark decoctions were prepared in traditional European and Asian folk medicine to treat skin inflammation and eruptions. The extract contains salicylic acid precursors, making it historically used as a natural astringent and skin treatment.
