Birch essential oil is distilled from bark that is first macerated in warm water, and the result smells intensely sweet, cool, and wintergreen-like, with a woody, candy-shop edge. It reads like winter woods and old-fashioned root beer at once, a dominant note built for fragrance and craft work.
Dominant sweet note A trace amount is enough to flavor a whole blend, so a little goes a long way in woodsy candle and room-spray compositions.
Botanical grade, documented Sold as botanical grade, with a published Certificate of Analysis available on the site for you to read.
One standard, eight sizes Every size from 1 oz to 400 lbs comes from the same standard, whether you are sampling or stocking up.

Build a cabin-scented room spray where one small drop of birch supplies the cool, wintergreen-like sweetness and cedarwood adds the dry, woody backbone.
Scent birch tar style soaps with a trace amount of this oil for a sweet, old-fashioned woods aroma, keeping the dilution minimal in anything that touches skin.
Diffuse the smallest amount alongside fir for a winter-woods atmosphere with an old-fashioned root beer sweetness; start low, since birch oil is exceptionally concentrated.
Birch oil is a concentrated botanical material and is exceptionally strong. For skin use, dilute to 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil and patch test first, though many crafters reserve it for candles and room scenting. Keep away from eyes, children, and pets. Not for internal use. Store in a cool, dark place.

Frequently Asked Questions
How pure is your birch essential oil? ▾
Our birch oil is sold as botanical grade. For specifics beyond that, contact us and we will help. The site also publishes a Certificate of Analysis you can read before ordering. Ask us anything about the oil before you buy and we will answer directly.
How is birch oil different from wintergreen oil? ▾
Birch oil smells very close to wintergreen, with the same sweet, cool character, but it carries a woody, almost candy-shop warmth. The exact species is not specified on this listing, so contact us if species matters to your project. Compare the two by scent before committing to a large size.
What does birch oil smell like, and what does it blend with? ▾
It smells like winter woods and old-fashioned root beer at once: intensely sweet and cool, very close to wintergreen, with a woody edge. It sits well with fir, cedarwood, and vanilla in outdoorsy compositions, and a trace amount is enough to flavor the whole profile.
How do I dilute birch oil for skin use? ▾
For any skin-contact project, use only trace dilutions. A range of 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil is the working guide, and starting at the low end is wise. Patch test first. Birch oil is exceptionally concentrated, so many crafters keep it to candles and room scenting alone.
What sizes do you offer, and do you sell wholesale? ▾
There are eight sizes, from 1 oz to 400 lbs: 1 oz, 2 oz, 4 oz, 8 oz, 16 oz, 5 lbs, 25 lbs, and 400 lbs. Wholesale buyers, formulators, makers, and resellers are welcome, and every size comes from the same standard.
How does the per-ounce price change across sizes? ▾
Per-ounce cost falls steadily as you move up the sizes. The largest size works out to less than half the per-ounce price of the smallest bottle, so buyers who expect to use the oil regularly save by stepping up. Current prices are listed on the product page.
Is lab documentation included with bulk orders? ▾
Yes. Every size is covered by the site's published Certificate of Analysis, whether you buy 1 oz or 400 lbs. If you need anything further for your paperwork, contact us before ordering and we will tell you what we can provide.
Which size should I choose? ▾
Start with 1 oz or 2 oz to learn how the scent behaves, since a trace goes far. The 4 oz and 8 oz sizes suit regular candle or soap makers, 16 oz suits small-batch production, and 5 lbs and up fit maker quantities and resale.
How fast do orders ship? ▾
Orders ship within 1 to 2 business days. Bulk sizes of 5 lbs and up may need extra handling, so allow for that when planning. Checkout runs through our Shopify store, where you pick your size and complete the order.
Why is the bark macerated before distillation? ▾
The bark is macerated in warm water before distillation, which develops the oil's signature sweet, penetrating aroma. The result is a dominant note: a trace amount is enough to flavor the whole profile, so add it in the smallest increments and build slowly.
