BIRCH EXTRACT

Birch tree water—also called birch sap, or birch juice—has been used for many centuries as a multi-purpose curative tonic, particularly in Nordic and Baltic countries. Known for its high contents of minerals, amino acids, vitamins, enzymes, sugars and antioxidants, birch extract is a common ingredient in skincare because it does so much: hydrates, purifies, encourages new collagen growth, soothes, staves off inflammation, and both tones and clarifies skin for a clearer, brighter, smoother complexion. It can also help prevent sun damage and freckles.
