Mellis / Silva Arctica / Sauna Arctica is a Finland brand built around peat extract.

Peat from Finland is mainly sphagnum peat (raised bog) and carex peat (fen). Peat — the organic sediment itself — is used in treatments like peat balneotherapy, peat body wraps, and peat mud pack, most often explored for psoriasis, back pain (chronic low back pain), joint inflammation (osteoarthritis, rheumatic conditions), and eczema (atopic dermatitis).
