Description About PhytoCide Aspen Bark Extract
PhytoCide Aspen Bark Extract is extracted from the bark of the American Aspen tree,and rich in salicylates that may function as the plant’s natural defense mechanism against invading parasites. The salicylates in Aspen bark may also be used for medicinal purposes. Medicinal barks have been used as analgesics and to reduce fevers for centuries.
PhytoCide Aspen Bark Extract Powder is ideal for use as an antimicrobial, but also imparts a smooth feel to the skin. This powder has been found to have a useful activity as an antimicrobial in cosmetic and personal care products. Initial efficacy testing has shown it to be effective at inhibiting the growth of E. coli, S. aureus, B. subtilis, P. aeuruginosa, yeast and mold. Additionally, it may also impart a smooth feel to the skin.
PhytoCide Aspen Bark Extract is water soluble and may therefore be added to aqueous systems, as well as the aqueous phase of emulsions.
