Koivun Kosketus – The Touch of Birch

Isokenkäisten Klubi’s own skincare collection

Face cream and soap

The old generations already knew it over a hundred years ago. A sauna experience was not complete without a birch whisk, and natural ingredients such as butter or cream from the family’s own animals, or from a neighbouring farm, were used for skincare. Taking a sauna meant more than just sitting in the warmth. Every sauna had its own spirit and traditions, and the person who heated the sauna for the first time was believed to influence its atmosphere and steam. Alongside birch, pine added to the sauna water was used to support breathing, while juniper smoke was believed to cleanse and protect. The sauna and its steam purified, refreshed and cared for both body and mind. In the sauna, people experienced a sense of renewal – leaving the past behind and stepping into a moment where boundaries faded.

The sauna is sacred.

Koivun Kosketus brings northern traditions and old wisdom into the present day. The main ingredient, goat milk, comes from Arola Farm in Kuusamo, where the goats are milked by hand. Goat milk contains unique minerals, vitamins and especially fatty acids and lactic acids. It nourishes the skin, while the fresh scent of birch stays with you long after the sauna. The goat milk salt soap does not dry the skin and is also suitable for sensitive skin. The cream and soap are suitable for many skin types. The cream leaves the skin feeling moisturised for a long time with a smooth, matte finish.
