BIRCH SAP

Botanical water • UK sourced • Water soluble cosmetic ingredient

Birch Sap (Betula alba) is a botanical liquid ingredient sourced from birch trees in Yorkshire, UK.

Also known as Betula Alba Juice, birch sap is used in cosmetic formulation as a botanical alternative to water and can be incorporated into a wide range of water-based skincare formulations.

Its clear, lightweight format makes it particularly suited to serums, toners, essences, gels and emulsions.

WHAT IS BIRCH SAP KNOWN FOR?

Birch sap has a long history of use as a botanical ingredient and is naturally composed of water alongside sugars, amino acids and minerals.

In cosmetic formulation, birch sap is particularly interesting as a botanical alternative to plain water, allowing formulators to incorporate a plant-derived liquid into their formulations.

It is a popular choice for formulations centred around hydration and skin conditioning, particularly lightweight water-based products.

FORMULATION USE

Birch Sap can be incorporated into a wide range of water-based cosmetic formulations, including:

Facial serums
Toners
Essences
Facial mists
Gels
Creams
Lotions
Emulsions
Face masks

It can be used as part or all of the water phase, depending on the requirements of your formulation.

WHY USE BIRCH SAP INSTEAD OF WATER?

Plain water is commonly used as the base of water-based cosmetic formulations. Birch Sap offers an alternative approach by replacing some or all of that water with a botanical liquid ingredient.

This makes it an interesting option for formulators looking to create formulations with a stronger botanical story while working with a simple, water-compatible ingredient.
