🌿 Organic Birch Leaf‑Bud Extract

A concentrated infusion of Betula alba leaves and buds, rich in natural plant actives and saponins. When dissolved in warm bath water, it releases the fresh aroma of birch groves, gently cleanses without soap, and revitalises the skin.

Rich in saponins, this birch water has been used since ancient times in saunas as a natural cleanser, when there was no soap or shampoo.

🌿 What is Birch Leaf‑Bud Extract ?

Birch leaf‑bud extract is produced by infusing birch buds and leaves in hot water under pressure. It contains flavonoids, saponins, tannins, essential oils, vitamins, and trace elements that contribute to its therapeutic effects.

The extract has a fresh birch aroma and is rich in natural plant actives, making it suitable for both cosmetic and wellness applications.

🌿 Ingredients

Betula alba leaf water – pure steam‑distilled.

⚠️ Possible Limitations

  • Allergies: Although rare, as with any plant‑based product, individual sensitivity may occur. It is recommended to perform a skin patch test before first use.

⚠️ Possible Limitations

  • Allergies: Although rare, as with any plant‑based product, individual sensitivity may occur. It is recommended to perform a skin patch test before first use.

Benefits

  • Cleansing & Purifying: Natural saponins gently cleanse the skin, replacing the need for soap.

Storage conditions

  • Keep in a dark place – protect from direct sunlight.
  • Temperature: Store below 17 °C.
  • Avoid room temperature: Prolonged storage at ambient conditions significantly reduces shelf life.

  • Winter season: As a liquid, it may freeze in cold weather. For this reason, we recommend home delivery instead of parcel lockers.
