Birch Bark Extract

Description

Harness the restoring power of Birch Bark Extract, drawn from the white outer bark of Betula alba and Betula pendula, for your Build-Your-Own ORY^® skincare, haircare, handmade soap, and cosmetics. Birch bark owes its distinctive white color to betulin, a triterpene that makes up as much as 10–30% of the dry bark, alongside betulinic acid, lupeol, and oleanolic acid. This triterpene extract has moved from Nordic folk remedy to one of the best-researched botanical recovery ingredients: laboratory studies show it speeds the migration of skin cells, and reviews document its soothing, antioxidant, and purifying actions. Oil-soluble, heat-stable, and a sustainable forestry by-product, it strengthens and restores the skin barrier. In your custom repair balm, barrier cream, serum, post-treatment product, or hand cream, it supports skin recovery, reduces roughness and water loss, and calms the look of redness for dry, sensitive, and stressed skin. In your scalp serum, scalp oil, or flake-care shampoo, it soothes an irritated, flaky-looking scalp and supports a healthy-looking scalp. In your handmade soap, birch-bark-infused oil creates Nordic-style restoring bars. In your cosmetics, it enriches lip repair balms, cuticle balms, and tinted sticks. Customize your cruelty-free formulation for resilient, comfortable skin and scalp. Caution: Rare cross-reaction in people with birch pollen allergy — patch test before first use. Not a treatment for wounds, eczema, or dandruff.
