Our Birch Bark Cream is the flagship products of Maskwiomin! Each cream contains our special birch bark extract ingredient that makes our product special for the skin. Our creams are excellent for sensitive skin and constant flare-ups caused by common skin conditions. The birch bark cream soaks deep into the skin and allows the traditional Mi’kmaw skin remedy to work. Birch bark extract helps to stimulate new collagen growth, soothe the skin, and balance skin tone over time.

Choose from one of our five invigorating scents with unique benefits:

Original - Our original cream has a smoky smell.

Lavender

  • Historical Use: lavender is associated with European traditional medicine, but it has been adopted into North American Indigenous herbal practices. Its use in aromatherapy and as a soothing agent for skin conditions is well-documented in both modern and traditional herbalism.
  • Modern Studies: Research has shown that lavender has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, which support its use in treating skin irritations and calming the nervous system.

 Lemongrass

  • Indigenous Practices: Lemongrass has been traditionally used by various cultures, including Indigenous people in North America, for its purifying and cleansing properties. It is often used in teas, topical treatments, and as a natural insect repellent.
  • Scientific Support: Modern research supports lemongrass's antibacterial and anti-fungal properties, which validate its traditional use for skin health and overall wellness.

 Sweet Grass

  • Cultural Significance: Sweet grass is sacred in many Indigenous cultures, particularly among the Plains tribes in North America. It is used in smudging ceremonies to cleanse spaces and people of negative energy and to attract positive energy.
  • Healing Properties: Traditionally, sweet grass is also known for its gentle soothing effects on the skin, making it an ideal ingredient for sensitive skin formulations.

Sweet Birch

  • Medicinal Use: Sweet birch has been used by Indigenous people as a natural remedy for pain relief and to treat inflammation. It contains methyl salicylate, a compound similar to aspirin, which explains its effectiveness in traditional medicine.
  • Scientific Validation: Studies have confirmed that birch bark extract has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, which supports its use in treating conditions like arthritis and muscle pain.

For best results, apply a thin layer to damaged skin areas daily or as needed. Recommended to use in combination with Birch Bark Soap.

Sustainable Practices

Maskwiomin uses the Mi'kmaq principle Netukulimk as the foundation of our ecological and sustainable products. We harvest birch bark for our products in the traditional, Indigenous and eco-conscious way, use recyclable containers, and create small, hand-crafted batches to minimize unnecessary waste. 

Clean Ingredients

We source our ingredients from trusted, certified Canadian vendors and use only high-quality, non-toxic, natural ingredients like extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil and canola oil. We ensure all our products are exclusively vegan, contain no animal products, and are never tested on animals.

Social Impact Business

Ethical commercialization is our mission. Before creating Maskwiomin products, the community of Membertou challenged us to "commercialize the right way, the good way, and so that the community benefits”. We’re proud to do that by sharing the invaluable knowledge of the Mi’kmaq people with the world.

Excellent product! I purchased this when I was home in Cape Breton in August and was lucky enough to learn about this amazing product...it does wonders for any skin itch, redness, dryness, any sort of irritation and only a small amount is needed. I highly recommend trying it!
