Birch Essential Oil (Sweet Birch)

Steam Distilled | Betula lenta | Restorative, Purifying & Energizing

Our organically crafted Birch Essential Oil, also known as Sweet Birch Oil, is steam distilled from the bark of the Betula lenta tree, native to the forests of eastern North America. Also referred to as Black Birch or Cherry Birch, this rare and revitalizing oil boasts a bold, minty-sweet, wintergreen-like aroma—invigorating and deeply therapeutic.

Unlike Wintergreen, Birch Oil requires a meticulous extraction process, where the bark must be macerated and soaked for 10–12 hours before distillation. This results in a more complex, refined aroma and a broader range of therapeutic applications—making it a favorite among natural wellness seekers and body care formulators alike.
