Ointment Multi-Use Healing & Soothing Balm - 0.88 oz

Discover the Australian secret to healing and soothing dry, irritated skin with the iconic Lucas' Papaw Ointment, a true multi-purpose remedy that has remained a trusted household staple for over 110 years. This thick, emollient balm is crafted with the active ingredient fresh fermented Carica Papaya (papaw), grown exclusively in Far North Queensland, Australia. The fermentation process concentrates the powerful enzymes found in the fruit, delivering a high concentration of healing properties that possess powerful antibacterial, antiseptic, and antimicrobial qualities. This ointment works wonders on everything from chapped lips to minor wounds, becoming your essential pocket-sized first-aid solution.

While often mistaken for a simple moisturizer, this rich formula works uniquely as a protective barrier, relying on pharmaceutical-grade petroleum jelly as its "carrier". The ointment creates a water-repellent layer over the affected area, sealing in the skin's own natural moisture and preventing it from drying out, which is key to accelerating the healing process for minor ailments. This occlusive action, combined with the potent, concentrated enzymes of the fermented papaw, relieves symptoms of mild burns, heat rash, and insect bites, while also providing soothing relief for dermatitis and eczema flare-ups. It’s a gentle yet highly effective formula that can be used safely on all skin types, including sensitive baby skin.

This handy, 0.88 oz (25g) tube is perfectly sized for stashing in your purse, gym bag, or car, ensuring you have the ultimate healing balm whenever a skin crisis occurs. Commonly used for more than just dry lips and skin cracking, the ointment acts as an effective barrier to prevent and soothe chafing during sports and is excellent for treating nappy rash on sensitive babies' bottoms. Since its invention in 1890, the formula remains virtually unchanged, trusted by generations for its simple, reliable healing power and its non-allergenic, non-comedogenic base. Use a thin layer of this iconic red tube remedy and see why it has earned a global celebrity cult following.

The ointment's active ingredient is fresh, fermented Carica Papaya, which concentrates the fruit's natural enzymes to deliver potent antibacterial, antiseptic, and antimicrobial properties.
