Sweet Birch Essential Oil – 50ml

About this piece

Sweet Birch Essential Oil in a 50ml bottle is cool, sweet and minty, with a fresh, wintergreen-like brightness. Steam distilled from the bark of Betula lenta, the sweet or black birch, and sourced from Russia, it is a distinctive oil for careful blending.

In British and Celtic tradition, birch is the tree of renewal and purification, its twigs bound into besoms to sweep a home clean and its pale trunks the first to colonise new ground. The oil has natural astringent properties and is useful when well diluted in a carrier oil, cream or lotion. This larger size suits experienced blenders and natural product makers.

Use sparingly and always well diluted in a carrier oil, cream or lotion before use on skin. Avoid during pregnancy, keep away from children and do not use if you are sensitive to aspirin. Never take internally. Never leave a lit burner unattended.
