Banana Fetish Body Scrub
salix alba bark extract
0.1% -
0.4%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Insufficient!
A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. It contains a compound salicin that can theoretically be converted into salicylic acid that, in turn, helps reduce inflammation in skin, but the evidence of effectiveness in skin is lacking and the extract is usually not used in a concentration that would enable an exfoliating effect
