Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Highly recommend. I think this is the best brand. Glad to have this in the cupboard now.

It is a stinky salve that works mericles. It's a bit smelly like oil smell but that’s the smell of petroleum.



Cons

All this product contains is lanolin with food colored petroleum jelly. I am also always wary when a product says homeopathic.

Quality


I bought the ointment for a splinter i had, and it worked very well.


I use it on spider bites during the summer & love this product.


It took about a week for it to finally break and drain.


Had a sliver of glass deep in my finger for over a month and after a week of applying this out it came.

Competitiveness


Nothing compares to the original i used when i was a kid in the 90’s but this works great.
