Mentholatum Lip Balm Original

Mentholatum is a globally recognized healthcare brand specializing in topical health and skin care products. Originally founded in Wichita, Kansas, in 1889 by Albert Alexander Hyde, the Mentholatum Company became famous for its signature menthol-infused topical ointment. Over the decades, the brand expanded into various personal care categories, most notably its popular line of protective lip balms.

In 1988, the American Mentholatum Company was acquired by Rohto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., a leading Japanese healthcare corporation headquartered in Osaka. Today, Mentholatum serves as a key subsidiary of Rohto, benefiting from its advanced dermatological research and international distribution networks. While the brand has deep American roots, its modern production and innovation are driven by Japanese expertise, with manufacturing facilities located across Asia, North America, and Europe to supply local markets such as Scandinavia as seen in this packaging.
