Application Recommendations:

• Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before widespread use to check for any individual sensitivity.
• Incorporate the Willow Bark Extract Concentrate at the recommended percentage for optimal exfoliation without irritation. Adjust the percentage based on your formulation goals and target skin type.
• Ensure thorough mixing of the extract concentrate into the aqueous phase of your formulation.
• Store the finished product in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat to maintain its efficacy.
• When formulating with Willow Bark Extract Concentrate, consider the final pH of your product, as salicylic acid is most effective at a slightly acidic pH (around 3-4).
• Avoid combining high concentrations of Willow Bark Extract Concentrate with other strong exfoliating agents to prevent over-exfoliation and potential irritation.
• Educate consumers about the potential for mild tingling or temporary redness upon initial use due to the natural salicylic acid content.
• Refer to supplier specifications for the recommended usage levels and handling instructions for our specific Willow Bark Extract Concentrate.
