The Function of Salicin Powder:
Hair care:
Because of its exfoliating properties, willow bark is an essential ingredient for exfoliating the scalp, helping to remove dirt from the scalp and preventing it from building up on the scalp, while helping to exfoliate the scalp's old keratinocytes.

Anti-inflammatory and acne-removing
Salicin Powder, the active ingredient of white willow bark, is an anti-inflammatory agent made from willow bark, which is metabolized by the body and hydrolyzed into salicylic acid. Its properties are similar to aspirin, and it is traditionally used to heal wounds and calm joint and muscle pains. Although enzymes are required to convert salicin to salicylic acid in the body, topical salicin can also work because it has anti-inflammatory properties similar to aspirin and is used to treat acne and other skin irritations. In a patent titled "Use of salicin as an anti-irritant compound in cosmetic and topical skin preparations," salicylic acid is recognized as an effective ingredient "in the control and prevention of so-called 'stings', Atopic dermatitis, type I and IV skin irritation can be treated with salicin, and the irritation threshold of sensitive skin can be increased with salicin." The aspirin-like properties of salicin are also thought to be useful in eliminating diaper rash, Herpetic inflammation and sunburn, at a concentration of about 5%.
