Birch tar (Betulae pix liquida) is a thick, dark brown aromatic liquid obtained by the dry distillation of birch bark (Betula spp.) at high temperature in the absence of air. The process yields a complex mixture of phenols, cresols, guaiacol, methylated phenols and terpenes that give birch tar its characteristic penetrating smoky-woody odour. It has been used for centuries in Baltic, Scandinavian and Russian folk traditions as an external preparation, and is still valued in traditional and alternative health practice today.
This product is pharmaceutical-grade birch tar in a 30 ml bottle for topical use. Due to the high concentration of phenolic compounds, birch tar is a potent material that must be applied only in very small amounts or diluted before use; always perform a patch test on a small skin area before broader application.

Berezovyi Degot Birch Tar 30 ml is a traditional external‑use tincture‑style product made from birch bark through dry distillation. People usually choose birch tar for very targeted topical use when they want a strong, old‑school preparation with a long history in Baltic, Scandinavian and Russian folk practice. It is known for its dense texture, dark colour and distinctive smoky‑woody aroma, which comes from the compounds naturally formed during heating.
What makes birch tar interesting is its complex composition. During distillation, the bark releases phenols, cresols, guaiacol and terpenes. In simple terms, these are aromatic substances that give the tar its characteristic smell and its intensely active nature on the skin surface. Guaiacol contributes much of the smoky scent, while phenolic compounds are the reason birch tar is used only in very small amounts. This is not a mild cosmetic oil but a concentrated traditional topical material that is typically used sparingly and often diluted, depending on the application.
The appeal of this product is largely traditional rather than cosmetic‑luxury focused. Birch tar has been part of regional household and herbal use for centuries, especially in settings where people valued robust, practical preparations derived from trees and resins. Pharmaceutical‑grade birch tar offers that same classic substance in a controlled form for those who specifically look for Betulae pix liquida rather than a blended ointment or cream. It may suit people who are already familiar with traditional birch tar use and want a single‑ingredient product for occasional external application.
Because Berezovyi Degot Birch Tar is highly concentrated, it is best approached with caution. Its strong odour is normal, but skin sensitivity is also possible. Patch test first, use only a very small amount, and avoid broad application unless properly diluted. This product is for external use only and is not suitable for the eyes, mucous membranes or broken, highly reactive skin. If you are pregnant, have very sensitive skin, or are unsure whether birch tar fits your regimen, it is sensible to ask a qualified healthcare professional before use.
