Not sure if it qualifies as the "world's oldest" original formula, but Ralon is the only “Pitralon” product offered today based on the original Pitralon German recipe of 1927 and therefore contains boric acid and camphor. Ralon does not appear to be marketed and sold outside of Croatia. As you would expect, it's healing properties are second to none.The original Pitralon formula which Ralon uses, was developed in Dresden in 1927, containing isopropanol , menthol , boric acid and camphor. The Swiss Pitralon deviates from the original recipe and the other versions of Pitralon are also significantly different from the original 1927 Pitralon formula.
For legal reasons, Ralon avoids references to the original "Lingner and Fischer" "Pitralon" recipe from 1927. They are therefore not described as "medicinal" or "austere" as the original Pitralon was, but rather as a "scent of smoky leather supplemented by lilac - rosewood , rose and thymefragrance and a cinnamon note ". I would say it is more medicinal smelling than Swiss Pitralon but still drys down to that Peary sweet note of Swiss Pitralon. It sells for a few euros in Croatia.
