🌿 Where to find it: In our Cura Oily Scalp Shampoo, where it works alongside niacinamide and probiotics for the best scalp care.
“Willow bark is the gentle powerhouse your scalp has been waiting for.”
For centuries, willow bark has been cherished by Indigenous communities for its incredible healing properties. Known as “nature’s aspirin,” this botanical powerhouse is packed with salicin, a natural anti-inflammatory, making it a go-to remedy for soothing irritated scalps and promoting hydration.
From Europe to Australia, willow bark has been a trusted remedy for centuries. In medieval Europe, it was brewed into teas to reduce inflammation, while Indigenous Australians used it to soothe skin irritations and promote healing.
Today, we honor these traditions by incorporating willow bark into our Cura Oily Scalp Shampoo - lock in hydration and suppoort healthier scalp.
Every time you lather up with Cura, you’re embracing a ritual rooted in tradition and designed for modern living.
