4. Salicin Benefits

• Anti-Aging

Salicin has an important impact on the regulation of genes in the skin. Meanwhile, it can regulate genes related to the process of skin aging. The genes are named functional ‘youth gene clusters’. Specifically, the process means skin hydration, including genes association with hyaluronic acid (HA). The study results suggested that salicin can improve the production and maintenance of HA in the skin. Additionally, salicin regulates the production of collagen that is a key protein responsible for skin structure. The increase of collagen can keep skin youthful. Therefore, salicin can improve signs of skin-aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, crow feet and others.

In the patent titled “Use of salicin as an anti-irritant compound in cosmetics and skin preparations for external use”, salicin is considered as an effective ingredient to prevent the so-called “sting”. Moreover, salicin can treat atopic dermatitis, type I and type IV skin allergies. The use of salicin can increase the threshold of irritation to sensitive skin. Salicin is also believed to eliminate diaper rash, herpetic inflammation, and sunburn.
