Birch tar, the core ingredient, is a traditional substance valued in Northern skincare for its strong cleansing character. When applied, it forms a thin protective layer on the skin and has a pronounced drying effect. This activity helps create a less favourable environment for unwanted surface microbes. Furthermore, birch tar is known to help calm sensations of itching and burning and encourages the outer layer of the skin to renew itself more evenly. It also provides a warming, circulation-activating feel on the skin's surface. This combination of effects—cleansing, protective, drying, and renewing—is why such products are often chosen for problem zones where skin may become thickened, rough, or uneven in texture, as better local microcirculation can help the skin look more alive and support its natural renewal process.
