A time tested remedy for dry, chapped skin

Spruce resin has long been considered one of the foremost natural remedies and making ointment in this way has very old traditions in Scandinavia.

Fresh resin used to be applied directly to the skin as a plaster and mixed with sebum or lard, it became an ointment for abrasions. Kådsalva is unsurpassed when it comes to treating calluses and cracks and it is also extremely effective against itchy, dry, and chapped skin and small wounds.

A Scandinavian classic from the forests in the north that only contains lard, spruce resin, and beeswax according to the old, honest, original recipe. Wilma's resin ointment is very popular as lard is used instead of vegetable oil as a base in this ointment.

Lard together with a large amount of spruce resin and a pinch of beeswax makes Wilma's kådsalva ointment a little harder in consistency, which is appreciated. It also means that it is not at all sticky or oily as some oil-based ointments are.

The resin is harvested from Spruce found in the boreal forest of northern Sweden and depending on where it is found and how fresh it is, there may be some differences in shade and scent on the resin ointment. Of course, the proportion of spruce resin in the ointment is always the same.

This ancient remedy is still a winning concept!

Wilmas Kådsalva has undergone full quality assurance, with safety assessments and compilation of safety reports in accordance with the EU Cosmetics Regulations.
Kådsalva is of course also product-registered with the EU cosmetics register CPNP.

Good for skin conditions and cuts/grazes

I thought I would try this for a natural salva for my hands and skin, I get cut hands through work and sore patches, spots on my forearms which just don’t heal for months. Look unsightly and itch, I tried this and covered the area with salve, within a few days the skin red patches and soreness started to lessen and now after a couple of weeks they are nearly gone, my skin/arm doesn’t itch all the time and the skin is going back to normal. Before it would take months and have a patch of raised red skin scars tissue.
I also used it in a bad cut with a bahco Laplander saw, on my finger, I was distracted for a moment. Anyway, the salva filled the cut gap and stopped any infection and pain, that was 2 weeks ago, it is a lot better, healthier and cleaner now. It’s made a world of difference to my skin and cuts/grazes.
