Birch extract and birch sap: what’s the difference?
You can find birch in toners, creams and even sunscreen. The care can contain different parts of the tree: birch extract is obtained from bark or leaves, while birch sap is its own ingredient. On the list of ingredients, a small word helps to differentiate: “Extract” refers to an extract, “Juice” refers to the juice. The two cannot therefore simply be equated.
In the SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50+ PA++++ , birch extract is part of the formula alongside centella and hyaluronic acid. If you like a light, serum-like sunscreen in the morning, the texture might suit you. The UV protection comes from the included UV filters; the plant extract complements the care. Apply sunscreen as the last step before makeup and follow the application instructions on the package.
