WHAT DOES IT DO?
Vitamin E is known for its anti-ageing effects above all else. It has strong antioxidant properties which prevent free radical damage, slow down the degeneration of collagen, support new skin cell growth and speed up skin regeneration.
WHAT IS IT?
White willow bark extract has been shown to have soothing properties on irritated skin and works as an astringent, toning agent and mild exfoliant with anti-inflammatory and anti-reddening properties. White willow bark is high in salicylic acid (BHAs) which is deeply exfoliating and promotes skin turnover, skin resurfacing and an overall radiant and glowing complexion.
White willow bark extract is found in our CLARIFY Matcha Clay Mask.
