“Think of it like this: using a product with naturally-occurring salicylic acid is like eating fruits and vegetables instead of taking vitamin pills”

It’s often overwhelming trying to find products that are compatible with not only your skin, but also your core values. Our cleanser and soap use a combination of gentle ingredients that work together to nourish, cleanse and soothe all skin types. JustBirch is a cruelty-free, vegan product collection and we believe in a sustainable health and beauty industry. 

Rejuvenate. Enhance. Brighten. Revitalize. Renew.

These are all words associated with skin care, beauty routines and skin ‘goals’. It’s one thing talking about what you want from your next hair or skincare purchase and something totally different understanding HOW and WHAT might get you the result you’ve been looking for. 

Let’s be honest – sometimes, all of the science, formulas, multitude of options and the limitless amount of choice actually results in too much information. The endless variety of product options and the sheer volume of all-consuming North American brands, can make you feel the opposite of what they intend to. Instead of feeling like you might have found a solution, you might find you’re left feeling unmotivated, isolated, confused and lacking straight-forward advice on how you should make a decision based on what you need. 

At JustBirch, we like to keep things simple, why shouldn’t it be? We use the power of Mother Nature as our guide, a compass that stands unwearied at the epicentre of everything natural. We use free-from ingredients in our cleanser and soap to fight the battle against acne, irritation, redness and dryness.

How often do you hear the beauty industry talk about Salicylic Acid? We would guess not that often and sometimes you need an expert to step in and let you know about an ingredient that is a game-changer for skin and hair health. No shame there! 

Salicylic acid is a type of organic acid and is derived from Salicin, a type of glucose, which promotes exfoliation and a stable cycle of good (balanced) hydration by acting as an anti-inflammatory agent. Salicylic Acid is well-known for it’s clever cleansing action when it comes to protecting pores from bacteria. All our products contain birch tree water with naturally-occurring Salicylic Acid which is beneficial for your skin and it is particularly useful in a few problematic hair and skin wars. Whether you are up against a cluster of recurring blackheads or dealing with an annoying dry scalp and dandruff issue, often, products high in Salicylic Acid can bring you the solution. Think of it like this: using a product with naturally-occurring salicylic acid, is like eating fruits and vegetables instead of taking vitamin pills. The absorption will be better. 

Here at JustBirch, we have hand-crafted a two-in-one Hair and Body Cleanser and an Artisan Cold Processed soap for you to stay connected to the native Canadian birch tree. In more ways than one, the birch tree is our answer to a balanced beauty regime and as much as we can admire its beauty, we can benefit from the nutrients it has to offer.
