Birch tar balm 50 ml

General Information

Tar Balm by Golden Farm combines the caring properties of birch tar, calendula and sea buckthorn oils, as well as zinc, salicylic acid, and lanolin. The product is intended for local care of skin areas that require cleansing, softening, and support of a comfortable condition.

The balm has a dense texture, is easy to apply to specific areas, and does not leave an excessively greasy feeling. Suitable for the care of skin prone to dryness, flaking, irritation, and imperfections.

The balm has a characteristic rich “smoky” aroma. This scent is a sign of authenticity and a high concentration of the active substance. After absorption or rinsing, the intensity of the aroma significantly decreases.

Research on Tar Balm Components

1. In a study published in The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, scientists investigated the effect of tar on keratinocytes and found that it suppresses excessive skin cell division, making it effective in the treatment of psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis.
2. In a scientific paper published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, researchers studied the anti-inflammatory potential of tar phenolic compounds and found that they block specific inflammatory pathways in the skin, reducing itching and swelling.
3. In the journal Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, scientists investigated the antimicrobial properties of tar and found that it has pronounced activity against fungal pathogens and bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus.
4. In a systematic review in Dermatologic Therapy, researchers found that tar-based preparations are a safe and long-term alternative to hormonal ointments (corticosteroids) in the treatment of chronic eczema.
5. In a study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, scientists investigated the wound-healing properties of birch bark tar and found that it stimulates tissue regeneration and improves local blood circulation in the affected area.
6. In the journal Toxicology Reports, researchers studied the safety profile and found that when properly used externally, tar does not exhibit systemic toxicity, refuting old myths about a high carcinogenic risk during household use.
7. In a clinical study presented in the British Journal of Dermatology, scientists found that the combination of ultraviolet irradiation with tar application (the Goeckerman method) significantly accelerates the clearing of psoriatic plaques compared to monotherapy.

Expert Opinion

Dermatology care specialists recommend selecting products for problematic or sensitive skin individually, taking into account its condition and reaction to components. Tar-based products may have a characteristic odor and require careful local application, especially on sensitive areas.
