Recently, the US Old science magazine published a report of rapamycin anti-aging research, the researchers recruited 36 subjects over the age of 40, let them every 1 to 2 days with rapamycin on a hand cream, daub on the other hand the placebo by contrast, in the final experiment in the crowd, the vast majority of rapamycin cream daub the hand skin collagen increased, therefore is regarded as a potential anti-aging drugs.
Rapamycin is a novel and highly effective immunosuppressant used in the treatment of anti-rejection and autoimmune diseases in organ transplantation. However, this report targets a different functional area, which brings our attention to the anti-aging field again. In fact, rapamycin’s role in anti-aging has been supported by many studies, but it has not been used for lack of clinical research. Today we’re going to talk about a substance that’s louder than rapamycin, and that is white willow bark extract.

01. Anti-aging
Salicin, the main active ingredient in willow bark extract, not only affects the regulation of genes in the skin, but also regulates the gene groups related to the biological process of skin aging, which are called functional “young gene groups”.In addition, salicin plays an important role in the production and maintenance of collagen, one of the key proteins in the skin, thus increasing skin elasticity and achieving anti-wrinkle effects.
02. Anti-inflammatory acne
The extract of White willow bark has not only excellent anti-aging and anti-wrinkle effects, but also highly effective anti-inflammatory activity. Salicin has anti-inflammatory effects due to its aspirin-like properties and can be used to relieve facial acne, herpetic inflammation, and sunburn.
03. Exfoliator
Salicin has the effect of gently removing dead skin cells on the skin surface, accelerating the shedding of aging skin cells, regulating the physiological activity of the skin cuticle, and making the skin even and shiny.

At the anti-aging level, it is mainly used in the cosmetics industry, which has the functions of anti-wrinkle, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and acne removal.The white willow bark extract is similar to rapamycin in its resistance to skin aging, both of which are achieved by regulating skin collagen, but the white willow bark extract has higher safety. With the deepening of related research, anti-aging market will be another “highlight” field of white willow bark extract.
