Tradition brought us to birch bark. Science helps us understand it.

Maskwiomin co-founder and CEO Dr. Matthias Bierenstiel is a Professor of Chemistry at Cape Breton University whose research includes birch-derived compounds and their properties.

It's an unusual combination for a skincare company:

Mi'kmaw knowledge.
Birch bark.
Cape Breton.
Modern science.

And it is part of what makes Maskwiomin, Maskwiomin.

What our customer Helen W. is saying about Lavender Birch Bark Cream (15 g) 💛

★★★★★ all your products are superb Helen W.: all your products are superb I now buy them as gifts for daughters and friends

Cream or ointment?

If you prefer something richer, meet our Extra Strength Birch Bark Ointment.

No essential oils are added — which also means the natural smoky character of our birch bark extract comes through more strongly.

Rich. Simple. Distinctly Maskwiomin.

Traditional knowledge started the journey. Science keeps taking us somewhere new.

Maskwiomin's story began with traditional Mi'kmaw knowledge of birch bark.

Now researchers at Acadia University have been investigating another question: could our birch bark formulations have applications beyond skincare?

In human trials, the Lemongrass formulation showed 97.9% mosquito repellency compared with untreated skin.

Current Maskwiomin skincare products are cosmetics and are not registered or sold as insect repellents.

No countdown. No artificial deadline.

20% off simply lasts until the end of this batch (email subscribers only).

What our customer Sandra F. is saying about Original Birch Bark Cream💛

★★★★★ Both the Original Birch Bark Sandra F.: Both the Original Birch Bark Cream and the Extra Strength Birch Bark Cream have made a tremendous difference to my skin. It actually lightened the small areas that had darkened over the years (age spots) which is an added bonus that I wasn't expecting.

What our customer Sandra F. is saying about Maskwiomin 💛

★★★★★ Shipping service is amazing ~ Sandra F.: Shipping service is amazing ~ Only three days!

Why does Maskwiomin smell smoky?

It's one of the first things new customers sometimes notice.

The aroma doesn't come from artificial fragrance designed to make our products smell like conventional skincare.

It comes from our distinctive birch bark extract and the process used to make it.

That natural smoky character is part of Maskwiomin.

Once you know where it comes from, the scent tells part of the story.
