Birch Bark Medicinal Properties
Why it works
For thousands of years, traditional Mi’kmaq knowledge-holders knew the world around them contained solutions for all their needs—including skincare. Birch bark extract is a time-honoured Mi'kmaq skincare and beauty best-kept-secret fabled for its antibiotic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-itch properties. Maskwiomin combines this traditional wisdom with cutting-edge skincare scientific processes and clean ingredients to create products guaranteed to sooth troublesome skin issues.
How it's traditionally made
Our new method mimics the traditional ways and we have created a scientific process for making it more efficient to bring our product into your homes
STEP 1
Birch bark is sustainably harvested by peeling it off from living trees without harming them or from trees that have already naturally fallen or been cut.
STEP 2
We simulate the traditional Mi'kmaq campfire method, the bark undergoes a torrefaction process to extract its healing properties while maintaining its chemical potency.
STEP 3
The final extract is used to formulate naturally-derived ointments, creams and lotions you can trust to work magic on the toughest skin issues.
