Product Information
Full details
Numark Vapour Rub is a soothing ointment specifically formulated for kids to provide relief from congestion associated with common colds and the flu. Utilizing the natural properties of menthol and eucalyptus, it helps clear nasal passages and makes breathing more comfortable during illness. While highly effective at providing quick relief, it is essential that the ointment is used carefully to avoid sensitive areas like the eyes, and application should always be overseen by an adult.

How often can I apply this?
It can be applied as needed for congestion, typically once or twice a day, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
Can I use it on the face?

What if my child has sensitive skin?
Perform a small patch test on a less sensitive area of skin before applying it fully, and discontinue use if any redness or rash occurs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
