🌿 Small jars – big impacts

KOTA products are made in Finland, and their recipes are based on an old folk tradition, where the forest is not just an environment but a medicine cabinet. Each ointment, cream and oil is packaged in a practical 35–100 ml jar, which is easy to take with you on hikes, at the cottage and in everyday life.

🧴 KOTA series specific products:

Forest Salve (35 ml): Perfect first aid for those who are out in nature. Treats minor wounds, scratches and insect bites.

Calendula Cream (35 ml): Soothes atopic and sensitive skin. Thanks to orange and eucalyptus, it also works as a lip balm – a lovely breath of freshness!
