Since time immemorial, Native Americans have used liquid extracts from Canadian WillowherbTM (Epilobium angustifolium) for numerous applications such as an intestinal astringent, healing burns and soothing skin irritations. Canadian WillowherbTM (CW) comes from northern Canadian Prairies plants that have developed strong phytochemical properties to survive the harsh climate. Epilobium angustifolium is a fire succession plant which means it is among the first plants to regrow after a fire. The plants used for Canadian WillowherbTM are harvested manually by local communities in the northern Canadian Prairies.
Canadian WillowherbTM contains bioactive molecules such as oenothein B which has 5-a-reductase inhibitory activity, anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial properties.
Canadian WillowherbTM is a multifunctional active. Its primary function is as a nonsteroidal anti-irritant ingredient. In vitro experiments have demonstrated free radical scavenging ability. In addition, Canadian WillowherbTM shows strong antibacterial activity on P. acnes. Its anti-irritant and redness reduction properties have been clinically demonstrated, showing a strong reduction of skin redness induced by chemicals or UV exposure within 30 minutes of use.
ANTIMICROBIAL EFFECT
The bacteria responsible for inflamed acne breakouts is Propionibacteria acnes (P. acnes). It is generally harmless but when pores become engorged with excess oil and dead skin cells, it creates an environment where P. acnes can excessively grow. P. acnes triggers inflammation within the pore, creating a papule, pimple, or cyst. Reducing the P. acnes population is an important step in controlling acne.
Canadian WillowherbTM clearly inhibits P. acnes growth contributing to a better acne control.
EFFECT ON FREE RADICALS
The skin is regularly exposed to UV radiation and air pollution. These exposures induce the production of highly volatile molecules called free radicals. Oxidative stress breaks down protein (collagen), alters cellular renewal cycles, damages DNA giving rise to wrinkles and sagging skin, and promotes the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which trigger the generation of inflammatory skin diseases.
Canadian WillowherbTM is as a free radical scavenger. Its efficacy is comparable to the ascorbic acid on superoxyde free radicals but without the unwanted side effects of formulating with ascorbic acid.
Compared to Trolox (hydrosoluble version of vitamin E) and ascorbic acid, Canadian WillowherbTM has a greater scavenging efficacy on peroxyl radicals.
Canadian WillowherbTM reduces the formation of free radicals like superoxide and peroxyl, thus reducing damages enduced by oxidative stress.

REDUCING SKIN REDNESS
Test protocol
- 8 consumers (women, 18 to 60 years old) with skin types I-III. - Application of 15% lactic acid for 4 hours to induce redness and irritation. - Application of 3% Canadian WillowherbTM or 1% hydrocortisone lotion. - Redness measurement after 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 24 hours.
(a* value determination using chromametry)
Canadian WillowherbTM reduces skin redness within 30 minutes of use and has better results than the reference anti-irritant agent hydrocortisone.
Test protocol
- 7 consumers (women, 18 to 60 years old) with skin types I-III. - Application of 3% Canadian WillowherbTM or placebo 24 hours after UV irradiation
(1.5 X MED). - Redness measurement after 4 hours. (a* value determination using chromametry)
Canadian WillowherbTM reduces skin redness induced by UV exposure.
IMPROVING ACNE-PRONE SKIN
Test protocol
- 63 consumers (18 to 40 years old) with acne-prone skin (not taking an anti-acne treatment during the study).
- Application of the "anti-acne cream" with 2% Canadian WillowherbTM and 2% KollarenTM, 2x/day, during 8 weeks.
