Spruce ointment, creams and other products made from spruce resin
For more than three decades, Smrekovit has been developing products made from genuine spruce resin in different formulations and forms of use. From the classic spruce ointment and light creams to an oral spray, capsules and a wrap for longer contact with the application area.
Choose the Smrekovit format
Smrekovit products differ mainly in their formulation and method of use. You can choose a cream or ointment for local application, a wrap for longer contact with the application area, an oral spray, a food supplement or products for animals.
Smrekovit creams
Three different Smrekovit cream formulations for local use: 365 Prima with spruce resin, 365 Ekstra with added menthol and camphor, and 365 Alter with boswellia.

Different formulations for different types of use
Smrekovit products are not simply different versions of the same product. They differ in their base, composition, how long they remain at the application site and the sensation during use.
Smrekovit 365 Prima
The basic Smrekovit cream formulation with spruce resin for easy local application.
Smrekovit Klasik
Classic spruce ointment with a fatty base that remains at the application site for longer.
Smrekovit 365 Ekstra
Cream with spruce resin and added menthol and camphor, which provide a cooling sensation when applied.
Smrekovit 365 Alter
Cream formulation with boswellia which, unlike the other Smrekovit creams, does not contain spruce resin.
Spruce resin also in oral forms
Smrekovit Oris and Smrekovit Intus contain spruce resin, but they are intended for completely different types of use.
Smrekovit Oris
Oral spray with spruce resin for local use in the oral cavity. Available in menthol or orange flavour.
Smrekovit Intus
Food supplement with spruce resin in soft capsules. The recommended daily dose contains 825 mg of spruce resin.
Spruce resin – where the Smrekovit story began
Spruce resin is a natural substance that spruce trees release when their tissue is damaged. For Smrekovit products, we use resin that has already been released and collect it by hand without intentionally damaging the trees.
From collection in the forest to the finished product, the resin goes through several processing and production steps. We show this journey in the short documentary film From resin to product.
And boswellia? Smrekovit 365 Alter is a special formulation with boswellia resin and does not contain spruce resin.
From the first spruce ointment to today's Smrekovit
The Smrekovit story began with Ivo Konc and the development of the first spruce ointment. Over the decades, new products and different forms of use developed from the original formulation.
Today, the second generation continues the development of Smrekovit products. Alongside new formulations, in-house production and spruce resin as the central raw material in most Smrekovit products remain important.
