General Information
Golden Farm’s Tar Balm combines the nourishing properties of birch tar, calendula and sea buckthorn oils, zinc, salicylic acid, and lanolin. The product is designed for targeted care of skin areas requiring cleansing, softening, and soothing relief.
The balm has a rich, dense texture; it applies easily to specific areas without leaving an overly greasy residue. It is suitable for skin prone to dryness, flaking, irritation, and blemishes.
The balm features a distinctive, intense, "smoky" aroma. This scent is a sign of authenticity and a high concentration of the active ingredient. The intensity of the aroma decreases significantly once the product is absorbed or washed off.

Research on Tar Balm Ingredients
Scientists have studied the effect of tar on keratinocytes and found that it inhibits excessive skin cell division, making it effective in treating psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis.
In a study published in the *International Journal of Molecular Sciences*, researchers examined the anti-inflammatory potential of phenolic compounds found in tar and determined that they block specific inflammatory pathways in the skin, thereby reducing itching and swelling.
In the journal *Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine*, scientists investigated the antimicrobial properties of tar and found it to be highly active against fungal pathogens and bacteria, particularly *Staphylococcus aureus*.
A systematic review in *Dermatologic Therapy* found that tar-based preparations serve as a safe, long-term alternative to hormonal ointments (corticosteroids) for treating chronic eczema.
In a study published in the *Journal of Ethnopharmacology*, scientists investigated the wound-healing properties of birch tar and found that it stimulates tissue regeneration and improves local blood circulation in the affected area.
