Maskwiomin is a Cape Breton skincare company built around birch bark extract — an ingredient valued for generations and now explored through modern research.

Our work is inspired by traditional knowledge of birch bark and its place in everyday life, through ethical commercialization and respectful collaboration.

Today, we create creams, soaps, and ointments designed to nourish, hydrate, and support dry and sensitive skin — bringing a meaningful skincare ritual into daily routines.

Co-founded by Dr. Matthias Bierenstiel, Professor of Chemistry at Cape Breton University, Maskwiomin combines tradition, research, and practical formulation to create products customers return to again and again.
