Product details

A jar of Birch Juice Moisturizing Cream on a white table against a sky-blue wall, between white birch logs and a sprig of birch leaves

Hydrate + soothe

A light gel-cream with Inje birch sap and hyaluronic acid that seals in moisture without stickiness.

Round Lab taps birch sap in the clean, cool forests of Inje, Korea, for its amino acids and minerals, then pairs it with hyaluronic acid in a bouncy gel-cream. Moisture capsules melt into skin as you pat it in, leaving a hydrating protective film that keeps dry, flaky skin comfortable for a long time, with a lightweight, non-sticky finish.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Inje birch sap

    Collected from birch trees that grow in the fresh, cool winds of Inje’s forests. Rich in amino acids and minerals, it delivers hydration to dry skin and soothes rough texture.

    No. 8 of 38 on the list

  • Hyaluronic acid + glycerin

    Humectants that draw water into skin, with glycerin right after water on the list, for the dewy, plumped look of well-hydrated skin.

    No. 2, 11, 14, 15 of 38 on the list

  • Panthenol + jojoba esters

    Pro-vitamin B5 to calm and soften, and jojoba esters to help form the moisturizing film that keeps water from escaping.

    No. 9, 10 of 38 on the list

  • Vitamin C

    The ‘vita’ in Round Lab’s vita hyaluronic complex, paired with hyaluronic acid to revitalize dull, dehydrated-looking skin.
