Found primarily in the areas of Europe and Northern Asia, the bark of the Betula alba tree is dry-distilled to extract SVA Birch Tar Essential Oil. This thick, dark oil is a unique element in deep, soothing aromatic applications due to its strong smoky, leathery, and tar-like scent, which also has faint undertones of wood and burnt resin.
SVA Birch Tar Essential Oil is used for its strong foundation and soothing aroma, which makes it a loved element in aromatherapy. When combined with cedarwood, sandalwood, patchouli, vetiver, clove, and frankincense, it creates a deeply earthy diffuser blend.
SVA Birch Tar Essential Oil has long been utilized in specialized skincare formulations due to its rich, smoky character in the formulation of salves, ointments, or men’s grooming balms. Always dilute with mild carrier oils such as jojoba, tamanu, or sweet almond to prevent skin irritation.
SVA Birch Tar Essential Oil is an essential part of traditional blends and can be mixed with gentle carriers like coconut oil, moringa oil, or pumpkin seed oil. It can also be used in tiny amounts to strong rinse infusions, herbal hair treatments, or pre-wash scalp oils.
SVA Birch Tar Essential Oil is prized by DIY craftsmen for its smoky power and leathery depth, for adding in handmade solid colognes, incense sticks, wax-based candles, and rustic salves, making it perfect for natural perfumery or themed self-care blends.
At SVA, all our products are always cruelty-free and sustainably sourced, because we prioritize both the well-being of our customers and the planet.
