Quercus Alba (White Oak) Bark Extract
The Natural Astringent with Skin-Firming Power
Quercus Alba, commonly known as White Oak, is a tree native to North America. Its bark extract has a long history of use in herbal medicine for its astringent, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. In skincare, White Oak Bark Extract is a botanical multitasker known for refining pores, toning skin, and calming irritation.
White Oak Bark is rich in tannins—natural compounds that tighten and tone the skin. These tannins help to reduce oiliness, minimize pore appearance, and enhance overall firmness. Its astringent action makes it ideal for oily and acne-prone skin types, though its calming effect benefits sensitive skin as well.
This extract also contains flavonoids and other antioxidants that support skin repair, reduce redness, and protect against environmental stressors. It’s often included in natural cleansers, toners, and soothing balms where a balance of purifying and healing action is needed.
Quercus Alba Bark Extract brings a grounded, botanical element to skincare—supporting clarity and tone while keeping formulations aligned with nature-based wellness.
