Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What can I use Lucas PawPaw Ointment for?

A: Lucas PawPaw Ointment is a true multi-tasker. Common uses include: dry or chapped lips, dry and cracked skin, nappy rash, minor cuts and abrasions, insect bites, sunburn soothing, eczema relief, cuticle care, and as a skin barrier cream. It can also be used as an overnight lip treatment or nail and cuticle conditioner.

Q: Is Lucas PawPaw Ointment safe for babies?

A: Yes — Lucas PawPaw Ointment is gentle enough for use on babies and young children. It is commonly used for nappy rash, cradle cap and minor skin irritations in infants. Always patch-test on a small area first and avoid use near the eyes. Consult your pharmacist or doctor if the baby's condition does not improve.

Q: Does Lucas PawPaw Ointment contain petroleum?

A: Yes — Lucas PawPaw Ointment contains petroleum jelly (petrolatum) as a base ingredient, which helps create the protective barrier and gives the product its smooth, occlusive texture. This is what makes it so effective at sealing in moisture and protecting damaged skin. It is free of artificial fragrances.

Q: How is Lucas PawPaw Ointment different from other pawpaw products?

A: Lucas' uses fresh fermented Queensland-grown Carica papaya rather than dried or processed papaya extracts. The fresh fermentation process preserves more of the natural enzymes and bioactive compounds in the fruit. This distinguishes Lucas' from other pawpaw ointments that may use lower concentrations or inferior papaya sources.
