What is it?

Willow Stem Cell Extract — a cell culture product that concentrates salicin — a natural compound that gradually converts to salicylic acid in the skin, in a standardized form. Mechanism: salicin theoretically provides a milder version of the action of beta-hydroxy acids, promoting the renewal of surface skin cells and regulating sebum production, without the pronounced irritating effect of concentrated salicylic acid.

Key Benefits

Gentle renewing action through salicin
Salicin, concentrated in willow stem cell extract, gradually converts to salicylic acid in the skin, providing a milder renewing action compared to direct application of concentrated BHA acid.
Regulation of sebum production
The properties of salicin theoretically contribute to regulating excessive sebum production, which is beneficial for formulas aimed at oily and problem skin.
Delicate alternative to salicylic acid
Due to the gradual conversion of salicin, willow stem cell extract offers a more delicate alternative to direct application of salicylic acid, suitable for more sensitive skin.
