Application Recommendations:

• Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before widespread use to check for any individual sensitivity.

• Ensure thorough mixing of the extract into the formulation for even distribution and efficacy.
• Consider the pH of your final product, as salicylic acid works best at a slightly acidic pH (around 3-4). Adjust the pH accordingly if necessary.
• Avoid combining high concentrations of Willow Bark Extract Concentrate with other strong exfoliating agents to prevent over-exfoliation and irritation.
• Store the finished product in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat to maintain the stability of the active ingredients.
• When formulating for sensitive skin, start with a lower concentration of Willow Bark Extract Concentrate and gradually increase if tolerated.
• Refer to relevant regulatory guidelines for the safe usage levels of salicylic acid in cosmetic products in your target markets.
