That’s exactly why more and more people are returning to simple, natural recipes that have been tested across generations. One of them is Evija Riņķe’s ointment “Evija”. From a historical recipe to the present day

At the heart of Evija ointment is a recipe from the 1940s, using Northern European natural ingredients—spruce resin, beeswax, natural fats, and medicinal plant extracts. It’s not a complicated formula with dozens of synthetic substances. Quite the opposite—its strength lies in simplicity and naturalness. This ointment combines traditional knowledge about nature’s healing properties with ingredients whose effects have also been studied by modern science. The result is a rich, protective ointment that helps maintain skin comfort and nourishes the skin.

Spruce resin has been used in Northern Europe for centuries for wound and skin care.

It contains diterpene resin acids, which have antibacterial activity.

Laboratory studies have observed that these substances can inhibit microorganisms, including Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans.

Pork fat is rich in oleic acid and palmitic acid, which help maintain the skin’s natural protective barrier.

Lipid-based ointments also improve the absorption of active substances into the skin and help retain moisture.

In vitro studies have also observed antibacterial effects.
