Mentholatum Original Ointment

Mentholatum Original Ointment is a topical analgesic ointment that has been trusted by families for generations to provide soothing relief for sore muscles and joints. It is also effective in relieving chest aches associated with colds and flu, with its aromatic vapors offering comfort to the nasal passages. The ointment is made with 100% natural active ingredients, including camphor and menthol, which contribute to its effectiveness. The Mentholatum Company, founded in 1889 in the United States, introduced this product in December 1894. Over the years, the company expanded its operations, establishing factories in Wichita, Kansas, and Buffalo, New York. In 1935, after the death of founder Albert Alexander Hyde, the Wichita factory was closed, and the corporate offices were moved to Wilmington, Delaware, and later to Buffalo. In 1988, Rohto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., a Japanese pharmaceutical company, acquired The Mentholatum Company, making it a subsidiary. Rohto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. is headquartered in Japan and specializes in over-the-counter health products, including topical analgesics and eye care solutions. Today, Mentholatum Original Ointment continues to be produced primarily in the USA, with manufacturing also taking place in other locations to meet global demand.
