Abstract: Sambucus nigra L., is a medicinal aromatic plant widely known and often represented in Macedonian flora. It is a small flowering tree from Caprifoliaceae family, used as edible and medicinal plant. It has been used as an antiviral, anti-inflammatory, diaphoretic, and antitussive agent in traditional preparation for a long time ago. But, beside these commonly known pharmacological effects, there are some other aims for which this plant has been used in ethnomedicine. It is known that some semisolid forms, prepared by the local citizens have been used for the external treatment of wounds and scars. This review aims to examine the bioactive compounds characteristic for emollient, antioxidant, and vulnerable effects of elderflower unguentum and types of preparation that could be effective in this kind of skin treatment.
