Many people ask where the birch bark in Maskwiomin® comes from.

The answer is simple: Cape Breton forests.

Every year in early summer, we collect birch bark that has naturally fallen or loosened from the trees. At this time of year, thin layers of bark can often be found on the ground beneath birch trees.

We never remove bark from living trees. Instead, we gather only what nature has already released.

Because our extraction process is efficient, we need very little raw bark — only a couple of trash bags per year to produce our birch bark extract.

This careful approach allows us to create skincare inspired by traditional knowledge while respecting the forests of Unama’ki (Cape Breton).

Small batches. Local ingredients. Respect for the land.
