THE HEALING POWER OF FERMENTED PAPAWS
Dr Thomas Lucas was a Brisbane medical practitioner and botanist who discovered the healing properties of papaw, and for nearly a century, the formula has remained unchanged.
Rich in antioxidants and papain, papaw has antibacterial, antimicrobial and antiseptic properties. We select the finest North Queensland papaws and prepare them by hand, fermenting them in our Brisbane factory. Our patented natural fermentation process delivers a potent concentration of papaw’s healing enzymes with exceptional quality and purity. This active ingredient is added to a pharmaceutical grade petroleum jelly and waxes using a time-tested and controlled method; resulting in the optimal concentration levels of papaw.
All-natural Lucas Papaw Ointment contains no sodium lauryl sulphate, glycerine or palm oil, and is non-allergenic and non-comedogenic.
- Approved by Therapeutic Goods Australia (TGA).
- Compliant with Australian and international standards.
Meets the safety and purity standards of the European Pharmacopeia and FDA (US).
