Description

Birch Leaf Powder (Betula alba) is a finely milled powder made from carefully dried birch leaves, with a crisp green character and a light astringent feel. It is commonly used in herbal teas, rinse-off skincare, and hair and scalp rinses when you want a convenient, easy-to-measure format. The powder blends easily into mixes, but benefits from fine straining for a smoother finish.

It is a single-ingredient botanical powder with no added fillers, flavours, or preservatives.
