The role of bark is to protect the tree by regulating temperature, moisture, nutrients and attacks by environmental aggressors. The skin has a similar function—it’s the body’s largest organ and serves as a protective barrier. That’s why Burt’s Bees went straight to the bark to find a natural source of Salicylic Acid. Who needs synthetics when you can harness the wonders of nature?
We use natural Salicylic Acid from Willow Bark to penetrate pores to reduce acne and prevent future breakouts.
