What is Birch Tar Essential Oil?

The scent of Birch Tar Essential Oil gives you the feeling of sitting around a warm winter campfire. The woody aroma has a cleansing and stimulating effect.

Birch Tar Essential Oil is steam distilled from the twigs of the birch tree (Betula Pendula). The oil has a dark color and blends beautifully with oils such as Peppermint, Cedarwood, Sandalwood and Frankincense.

Benefits

Cleansing

Birch Tar Essential Oil is perfect for cleansing a space of heavy energies and bringing it back into harmony. Diffuse the oil in your aroma diffuser and play harmonizing music, you will notice that the space feels completely different afterwards.

Stimulating

This essential oil has a stimulating effect. Incorporate the oil into a massage oil for tired muscles, use it as an ingredient in shampoo to support circulation in the scalp, or diffuse it in an aroma diffuser on your desk for more clarity and productivity.

Soothes the skin

Birch tar has a soothing, astringent and calming effect on the skin. Incorporated into a serum, cleanser or day cream, the oil is beneficial for sensitive, red skin or for skin that is prone to breakouts.

How do you use it?

Diffuse a few drops of the oil in an aroma diffuser or incorporate as an ingredient in your favorite DIY skincare products. For use on the skin, always dilute first with a Carrier Oil, such as Jojoba Oil or Castor Oil.

Oil blend for meditation

Gain clarity and be open to insights from your inner self. Diffuse 2 drops Birch Tar Essential Oil, 2 drops Frankincense Essential Oil and 2 drops Myrrh Essential Oil in a diffuser during your meditation.

What makes it so special?

Birch Tar Essential Oil has something reminiscent of the scent of leather, because birch tar is often used in leather production to strengthen leather. Because the scent is so reminiscent of leather, wood, smoke and a campfire, this is a wonderful oil to incorporate into skincare products for men.
