A gentle and versatile plant powder

More neutral in taste and aroma than red sapwood, powdered white sapwood is suitable for those seeking a light, finely textured woody base. Its discreet appearance allows it to be incorporated into infusion blends, maintenance powders, or even gentle plant-based masks or exfoliants. It can also be used as a plant-based diluting agent in botanical synergies.

History and tradition

In European herbal traditions, the white sapwood of the linden tree was sometimes harvested in addition to the red sapwood, particularly for milder or longer-lasting preparations. Its powdered form is a modern adaptation that meets the demand for ready-to-use, quick-to-use formulations compatible with many artisanal herbal bases.
