"Use of resin as a healing substance is ancient history. In 1574 the
first Finnish book mentions it for the first time. But in the history of
modern medicine its properties had not been studied properly until
the founders of Repolar began to research it in ernest."

In 2000 Arno Sipponen started his GP service in Lapland where he
together with his collegues wondered how the locals were so
successfully treating wounds with a home made concoction made
of resin and butter. At the time Arno's father was chief of pathology
at the Helsinki University. They formed a crossfunctional research
team to study this remedy. The studies proved it to be highy
antimicrobial and anti inflammatory, and its skin healing properties
to be excellent. Resin is stable and keeps working, whereas
antibiotics are vulnerable to mutations happening and becoming
resistant.

"The trees are not harmed during this process."
When a tree gets a wound, a branch is torn, or winter breaks the
cover of the tree, it produces resin to heal itself. Our studies are
actually the result of millions of years of research into all the
bacteria, fungus, yeast etc. that live in our forests. A tree needs to
protect itself and resin is its unique defence mechanism. And now
we have learned how to use the potent resin collected from living
trees in our medical poducts to treat humans and animals. After the
resin is collected, Repolar purchases it nand purifies it via a
patented methdod.
Repolar was founded in 2006 by a family of scientists and doctors.
CE marked medical product, sold through pharmacies and used in
hospitals Purified resin used in first stage products: The first
product was Abilar for healing of wounds.
Shortly after Abicin was developed to treat fungus and yeast
problems.
Repolar now markets a wide range of safe and effective
resin-based products to treat humans and animals.
