Lucas’ Papaw is made with fermented papaw fruit and pharmaceutical-grade petroleum, which is a milder and non-comedogenic form of petroleum.

This more-natural take, petroleum-based balm is considered safe by most dermatologists. Lucas is the oldest and our most popular brand of pawpaw ointment with a history stretching back over more than 100 years that is effective to moisturise, treat sunburn, gravel rash, cuts and minor open wounds, nappy rash and chafing, insect bites, splinters and thorns. Many users of the ointment also report temporary relief of the symptoms of dermatitis and eczema.

The ointment contains:

• Fresh fermented pawpaw: 39mg/gm
• Unguent Carica Papaya L
• Potassium sorbate as a preservative: 0.1mg/g
