Botanical Name: Salix alba
Country of Origin: Europe
English Name: White Willow Bark C/S
French Name: Écorce de Saule Blanc Coupée
Also Known As: European Willow Bark
Part Used: Inner and outer bark of Salix alba
Description: White Willow Bark C/S is prepared from the bark of Salix alba, a tall deciduous tree native to Europe and western Asia and widely naturalized in temperate regions worldwide. The tree commonly reaches heights of 20 to 30 metres, developing long, narrow silvery-green leaves and flexible branches. Bark is harvested from mature trees, where it appears grey to brown on the outside with a lighter inner layer, ensuring consistent thickness and botanical quality.
After harvesting, the bark is carefully cleaned to remove natural debris and dried using controlled air or low-temperature methods to preserve its fibrous structure and natural colour. Once dried, it is cut and sifted into uniform fragments, producing firm, woody pieces with visible layered textures. This process maintains the botanical integrity of Salix alba while creating a consistent cut suitable for blending and infusion.
The finished White Willow Bark C/S displays a light brown to grey-brown colour with coarse, fibrous texture and irregular bark strips. The pieces remain stable during storage, retaining their visual identity and natural woody aroma over time. The cut and sifted format allows for easy handling, accurate measuring, and uniform blending for various applications.
Uses: White Willow Bark C/S is commonly used in tea-style infusions, herbal blends, and aromatic preparations where dried bark material is preferred. It is also suitable for cosmetic formulations, bath products, botanical sachets, craft projects, and educational collections demonstrating tree bark structure and deciduous forest species. The cut and sifted format allows for precise portioning, easy blending with other botanicals, and versatile use in both home and professional environments, offering consistent quality and visually identifiable bark fragments.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
