Although the phrase “what used to be better” sounds very purist, there are times when this phrase does justice. There is no doubt that the world of cosmetics has advanced by leaps and bounds and today there is an infinite range of products for which there was only one proposal before. However, there are irreplaceable items, no matter how many years pass.
Grandma’s mythical cream exists, and can be bought at pharmacies. We are talking about Ungüent Cañizares, created in 1896 in a pharmacy in Valencia and raised as the most effective vintage cream on the market. This ointment was withdrawn for a time due to a bureaucratic problem with the inheritance and was again on sale in 2019 in many Spanish pharmacies.
Cañizares Ointment
Unlike the thick old creams that served only for hydration, this ointment is very effective in combating some skin impurities, capable of facilitating the evacuation of all boils and for pathologies that cause infection or pain, such as pimples or ingrown hairs. . However, the original formula has been modified, making it a completely natural ointment in its composition, which has also caused a change in its color, which has gone from being a dark paste to a white one.
Its method of application is just as vintage as its history and its packaging, since it must “apply a generous amount to the affected area with a spatula or similar covering with a dressing or gauze”. An operation that can be repeated every 2 or 3 hours, although it is usual to do it every 6 or 8.
