LUCAS Papaw Ointment 75g

More than 100 years ago, Aussie doctor Thomas Lucas started making remedies using the papaw fruit (aka Carica papaya)€”this is one of his original products.

It can many things, from protecting skin against the elements and healing chapped lips and cuticles to diminishing blemishes and relieving eczema discomfort. 

The ingredients include fermented papaw fruit and pharmaceutical-grade petroleum (a milder and non-comedogenic form of the petroleum jelly).

The consistency is similar to most petroleum products, with a slightly milky smell that’s not at all unpleasant.

Why It’s Special

• The ointment temporarily soothes the symptoms of dermatitis and eczema.

Key Ingredients

• Carica Papaya 39 mg Fresh Fermented Fruit: The papaya is grown fresh in Queensland and is hand-selected to be fermented to make the ointment. The finished product contains 0.1 mg/g of Potassium Sorbate which acts as a preservative.
• Pharmaceutical Grade Petroleum Jelly and Wax: It is a pharmaceutical grade base that is tested and screened for the level of total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Penreco USP grade Petrolatums are not mutagenic or toxic to reproduction.
