Rash Decision

Pinxav Ointment

You always buy the cream of the crop, of course.

But diaper cream? That seems like it ought to be somebody else’s crop.

Unless you’re taking care of your skin problems (and we’re not talking diaper rash) with Pinxav (pronounced “pink salve”). Originally designed to soothe a baby’s bottom, it also works wonders on temperamental skin. (What? You use Preparation H on your baggy eyes.)

Concocted from a blend of natural ingredients including clove oil and aloe, Pinxav nourishes chapped skin, does away with heat rash, and keeps skin irritations, like pesky bug bites and poison ivy, from driving you mad.

How does it work? The eucalyptus promotes the regeneration of healthy tissue, while the menthol serves as a natural anesthetic. Try a dab on dry lips or slab it over sunscreen for added protection from summer’s strong rays.

Created in 1927, the product still retains characteristics of its ancient packaging with funky lettering and a cardboard box. Which should deter interest from nosy medicine cabinet spies.

Not that you have anything to hide.
