Birch sap, or the water tapped from birch trees, is fast gaining recognition in the highly innovative and competitive Korean skin care space for its ability to reduce inflammation, purify and hydrate skin. Often referred to as the tree of life, birch is found across northern Europe, particularly in Scandinavia, and has been used throughout history as a medicinal plant. In addition, researchers at the University of Lancaster found that birch trees reduced pollution levels in the surrounding areas by 50% when planted on urban streets.

This was a tester product that our tester group could not wait for us to bring to market!
