Research Facts
Containing boric acid, zinc oxide and eucalyptol, it was used as an ointment. It treated skin irritation, eczema, psoriasis, and likely diaper rash, though it contains boric acid which has since been proven dangerous to babies (zinc is fine though). The company that manufactured this product appears to have since turned into a paint company near London, Ontario
