20 Ways to Use Lucas' Papaw Ointment
Consider this stuff the duct tape of beauty products! Lucas’ Papaw is beloved by professional makeup artists, and is essentially Australia’s answer to Vaseline. It’s made with fermented papaw fruit and pharmaceutical-grade petroleum, which is a milder and non-comedogenic form of petroleum. Whether you prefer the classic version or this more-natural take, petroleum-based balm is considered safe by most dermatologists.
A hydrating moisturizer is just one of the many uses that made our top-20 list of hidden beauty talents of all-purpose skin balm.

Neosporin + Vaseline All in One
I always see customers purchasing the Lucas' Papaw Remedies Lucas’ Papaw Ointment and raving about how good it is, so one day I finally gave in and decided to try it. Let's just say I finally understand what all the hype is about this product! The formula is luxuriously moisturizing, but without being greasy or heavy. Unlike Vaseline that sits on top of your skin, this product melts into your skin, lips, wherever you're putting it. There's a slight vanilla-y scent, but it's not overpowering and definitely doesn't bother me. I like to use this as a lip balm, on top of my mosquito bites (which unfortunately happens pretty often as I am a mosquito magnet), as a brow gel when I'm in a pinch, etc. My favorite way to use this product is definitely on my ear piercings, which are sensitive and prone to infections. Just a little dab on each ear and my ears are as good as new the next day!
I prefer this to all my other lip balms.
I have all kinds of lip balms and those pure Shea butter products to use on my lips but this is heaven! I can apply it on my lips, dry spots, wind burns on my elbows, cheeks and jawline over or under makeup because it’s clear like Vaseline color. Bought the 25g duo last year and still have not went through one of the two despite using it exclusively since Fall of 2018. The product has a pretty good shelf life. The duo I bought last year expires in April 2021. By that time I would surely have used both.
Best lip balm ever
I have very dry and chapped lips. Most lipstick can't go on smooth and I've tried a ton of different lip balm and none of those helped. But this Lucas' Papaw Remedies is a game changer. I applied it before bedtime for 2 nights and my lips are so soft in the morning. Not chapped at all and don't have to reapply lip balm at all during the day. Now even the drying-type of lip product like the ultra matte lipstick from Colorpop and stay smoothly on my lip for the whole day. Absolutely love this product.
Great product!
After my aunt saw how bad my hands were she gave my the little bit she had left. I wash my hands constantly, so they are extremely dry and cracking between my knuckles. Since using the Paw Paw ointment I've noticed a huge difference. So thankful to have been introduced to this!
must have product
Papaw is the bomb.... a little bit goes a loooong way, and it pretty much does everything. Have a mosquito bite? This will take the itch off. Your rambunctious nephews have some cuts here or there? It'll help clean and soothe it. Need some extra moisturizing around your lips, cuticles, rashy skin.....? THIS WILL HELP.
It's a vaseline like product that I've shared with friends and family, and all have been impressed. Think of this as an upgraded aquaphor... perfect for all situations and all ages.
The one and the only treatment you'll ever need
This product has highly recommended to me by one of my friends but I decided to try it after many beauty bloggers posted raving reviews on how good it is. The packaging is very simple – red tube, nothing glamorous about it. But the product is really amazing! Creamy rich texture which almost melts on your skin. I often had sore lips but never could find a good treatment to work like a shiny lip balm while feeling nice on the lips. The one works magic! I apply it right before going to bed on my lips and in the morning the skin is soft and feels amazing. It is not a make-up tool but it heal the skin, softens it and can get rid of any rash, peels or cracked skin. Would order again!
