2000 Years of Nordic Tradition: Pine Tar for Itching, Dry and Flaking Skin

Finnish Pine Tar Balm with authentic Scots pine tar from traditional underground kilns, organic shea butter and almond oil soothes itching, calms inflammation and is suitable for eczema-prone, psoriasis-prone and seborrheic dermatitis-prone skin, as well as cracked heels, calluses and dry flaky skin. Non-steroidal. Preservative free. Fragrance free. 100% natural, vegan, organic. Approx. 80 ml.

This is not coal tar. This is pure Finnish pine tar, produced the same way it has been for centuries: by slow carbonisation of Scots pine in underground kilns. The difference matters. Pine tar is gentler, better tolerated and carries none of the concerns associated with coal tar derivatives.

Why Pine Tar Works

Pine tar has been used in traditional Nordic skincare for centuries to help ease itching, flaking and irritation on sensitive skin. This balm brings that tradition into a modern formula, without unnecessary additives, for skin that needs more than ordinary moisture.

Finnish woodsmen discovered that the same tar they used to seal and protect their boats also soothed their skin. In Finnish folk tradition, tar was used for almost all everyday skin care. This balm continues that tradition in a modern formula.

Key Active Ingredients

Authentic Finnish pine tar (Pinus sylvestris wood tar) is produced using traditional underground kilns from Scots pine. Not coal tar. Traditionally used to help ease itching and irritation on sensitive skin.

Organic shea butter (Butyrospermum parkii) is rich in triterpenes with anti-inflammatory and skin-repairing properties. It deeply moisturises without clogging pores and supports your skin's lipid barrier.

Almond oil (Prunus amygdalus dulcis) is rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids. It absorbs easily, supports skin elasticity and leaves no greasy residue.

Tocopherol (Vitamin E) protects your skin from free radicals and supports its natural balance.

How to Use

Apply a small amount to affected areas as needed. A thin layer is sufficient as the balm is rich and absorbs well. Suitable for eczema-prone or psoriasis-prone areas, dry and flaky areas, cracked heels, calluses, chafed skin, rashes and insect bites. Suitable for face, lips, body, hands and feet.

Natural tar scent. No added fragrances.
