FORMULATION GUIDELINES
| INCI | Water, Glycerin, Willow Bark Extract |
|---|---|
| Type | Botanical extract solution (clear liquid) |
| Extract Content | 2% Willow Bark Extract (in the supplied liquid) |
| Solubility | Water soluble |
| Use Rate | 1–10% as supplied, depending on the strength you want and overall formula concept. |
| pH Compatibility | We recommend a finished product pH 4.5–6.5 for the best overall performance in leave-on skincare. |
| Temperature Tolerance | We recommend adding in cool down (below 40°C). Avoid prolonged heating to protect the extract profile and keep the system clear. |
| Pro Tip | If you are formulating an exfoliating toner or serum, combine this with a chelator and a robust preservative system, especially because it is water-based and glycerin-rich. For sensitive skin positioning, keep the use rate modest and avoid stacking with high levels of strong acids in the same formula. For rinse-off cleansers, add it near the end of production and test clarity and viscosity impact. |
| Appearance | Clear liquid |
| Stability Notes | Keep an eye on colour shift and microbial stability in high water systems. We recommend running accelerated stability and micro challenge testing for commercial batches. |
| Storage | Keep sealed, cool, and dry, away from direct sunlight. |
