Birch Tar Oil

Birch Tar Oil

From the heart of Kannauj, India, Shiva Exports India presents Birch Tar Oil, meticulously crafted through generations of artisanal distillation knowledge fused with cutting-edge extraction technology. This is not merely an essential oil; it is a legacy – a 100% pure, therapeutic, and perfumery-grade essence ready to elevate your formulations.

🌿 Olfactory Profile & Applications

Our Birch Tar Oil offers a profoundly smoky, leathery, and phenolic aroma. The top notes present a sharp, creosote-like intensity, yielding to a warm, woody heart, and culminating in a persistent, tar-like base. This complex profile makes it an invaluable addition to fine fragrances requiring depth and character, particularly in leather and woody accords. Beyond perfumery, its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory qualities make it highly sought after in cosmetics, specifically in formulations targeting skin conditions. Explore its potential in aromatherapy blends designed for grounding and pain relief. Consider its incorporation into aroma chemicals, personal care products (soaps, shampoos), candle manufacturing, and even specialized pharmaceutical preparations aimed at addressing dermatological concerns.

📖 Usage & Formulation Guide

Harness the unique power of Birch Tar Oil with these expert formulation insights:

• Leather Accord Creation: For a robust leather fragrance, blend Birch Tar Oil (1 part) with Cade Oil (2 parts), Labdanum Absolute (3 parts), and Isobutyl Quinoline (0.5 parts). This creates a complex, smoky, and authentic leather note. Start with a very small dilution (1-3%) in perfumer's alcohol.
• Psoriasis & Eczema Salve: Create a soothing salve by combining Birch Tar Oil (2%) with Shea Butter (40%), Beeswax (20%), Calendula Oil (28%), and Vitamin E Oil (10%). The Birch Tar Oil's antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, combined with the emollient base, can aid in reducing inflammation and promoting healing.
• Traditional Tar Soap: In soap making, incorporate Birch Tar Oil at a concentration of 3-5% of your total oils. Combine it with a blend of coconut oil, olive oil, and palm oil for a balanced cleansing and moisturizing effect. The characteristic scent will impart a traditional, medicinal aroma.
• Wood Preservation Treatment: For a natural wood preservative, dilute Birch Tar Oil in boiled linseed oil at a ratio of 1:10. Apply liberally to wooden surfaces to protect against rot, decay, and insect infestation. The tar penetrates the wood, creating a water-resistant barrier.
