The American Indians used Birch (Betula Alba) bark and leaves as diuretics, detergents, and antiseptics. The Indians passed this knowledge on to the white frontiersmen, who subsequently used boiled solutions as a mouthwash and scalp tonic.
The mildly astringent but fast-healing Betula Alba Bark/Leaf Extract has been extensively utilized as a parasiticide and antiseptic in skin affections such as eczema.
Betula Alba Bark/Leaf Extract is a medium to dark peach liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in water at any proportion.
Betula Alba Bark/Leaf Extract is used in skincare and bath products because its astringent properties are refreshing, soothing, and healing, and in hair rinses because of its curative properties regarding dandruff and other scalp disorders.Synonyms
