Tiger Balm White ointment

Tiger Balm is a world-renowned topical analgesic with origins dating back to the 1870s. It was originally developed by herbalist Aw Chu Kin in Rangoon, Burma, before his sons, Aw Boon Haw and Aw Boon Par, moved to Singapore and successfully commercialized the formula. The 'Tiger' name was chosen to reflect the strength and vitality of the balm.

Today, the brand is owned by Haw Par Corporation Limited, a large conglomerate based in Singapore. While Singapore remains the primary hub for its production and brand heritage, Tiger Balm is manufactured in various locations globally through high-quality controlled facilities to meet international demand. In Europe, it is often distributed by local healthcare subsidiaries or partners.
