**************
In cleaning out my cabinet this morning I ran across an old tin of ZamBuk I've been hoarding for years! I have a tad bit left which I am savoring for as long as possible.
I decided to hop on the Internet to see if I could find more! Low and behold I found this thread! Interesting information and of course I'm interested in obtaining more.
Now, based on what I've read, it appears there is 2 versions...yes? If so, is any of them the original mixture? Is this original version of it available?
My tin is green (much like the tins I remember my grammie having when we were growing up) She and her family came from Leeds, England. The tin I have is 29gms and the ingredients read as follows:
28g tin. Ingredients read:
Eucalyptus Oil B.P 5.0% w/w
Camphor B.P 1.8% w/w
Thyme Oil BPC 1949 .50% w/w
Colophony BP 2.5% w/w
The following also reads below the ingredients:
"keep out of reach of children"
"Manufactured in England"
"FISONS plc - PHARMACEUTICAL DIVISION"
"Loughborough, Leicestershire"
I can't remember how I came to acquire this. I either snagged this from my grandparents home after their death or from my mom who probably acquired it from them. None the less, like the above poster, I consider this a real 'treasure'.
I am interested in knowing if this product is available with the above ingredients above?
I would LOVE to find more of this stuff. HELP! I am in the US, so wasn't sure if the Canadian sources will ship here.
Any help anyone can provide would be most appreciated. I would welcome any email from anyone who has more information.
Thanks! Glad to find this board!
