Did you know that Lucas’ Papaw Ointment originated in Brisbane? The company is now has more than 110 years of history and is still proud to be family owned.

Lucas’ Papaw Remedies, the company that produces Lucas’ Papaw Ointment is named after the formulator of the ointment Dr T P Lucas. Dr Lucas, after years of research as a surgeon and botanist, stated in his 1906 handbook that he believed the papaw was the finest natural medicine yet discovered. He used the ointment, which he developed for his medical practice in Brisbane, to treat numerous types of illness and disease.

People today can derive the same benefits that thousands derived during the lifetime of T P Lucas. The company still operates in Brisbane where the ointment continues to be produced. You might be amazed to know that the formula for the famous ointment is still the same proven remedy today as when it was created over 110 years ago.

Passionate about causes related to skin, sports, families and health, today, the business is built on values that bring awareness of the product’s wound care and soothing benefits by supporting charities, such as Dementia Australia, Mission Australia, Eczema Association of Australia, Danni Foundation, Victor Chan Cardiac Research, Nursing and Midwifery College, Triathlon Australia, and most recently Griffith University COVID research.

Although demand for the ointment has grown dramatically, the team that makes Lucas’ Papaw is still relatively small, with just 20 people producing the product. Seventy per cent of the staff have been with the company for more than eight years with some coming up to their 15-year mark. Hundreds of thousands of users around the world consider Lucas’ Papaw Remedies as their handy, go-to product for soothing and relieving skin issues. The all-Australian family-owned company is loved by people across the world, and available from a range of chemists and retailers.
