One tin will last along time, but it does wonders for just about every problem from scrapes and cuts, to dry hands, feet and elbows. Love it!
KRESTOL EUCALYPTUS GEL
The two main ingredients in Krestol Eucalyptus Gel are traditionally known to disinfect and heal wounds. This special blend has been around for generations and is unlike any other product available. In fact, Krestol Salve was first introduced in 1908, the year the McNess brand was started.
The Krestol Eucalyptus Gel is the exact same formula used for generations, but now available in three sizes. These tins contain 4.2 oz of the Krestol.
We know that some people have had the 11 oz tin in their medicine cabinet for years and years (and years.) Let's face it, you probably should replace it a lot sooner than you do. The smaller size makes it easier (and cheaper) to replace more often. And, did you ever notice that the 11 oz tins can was hard to open? The smaller size has a curled lip that makes it much easier to take off and put back on.
Also, please note that we have two other sizes available. If you are a heavy user of the Krestol, we now have a 18.5 oz plastic tub available. In addition, we also have a small, 1.8 oz TSA compatible travel size available in a glass jar. (Perfect to give to friends and family that may not know about the qualities of Krestol.)
Ingredients:
Petrolatum, Rosin, Cresylic Acid, Eucalyptus Oil

Recommend it highly. Old school salve that does what it says it does.
A Freeport native, I grew up using McNess Salve as a small child and I still swear by it decades later as an MD. My mother got me my own tin when I left home, and I just bought tins for my kids now that they've moved out to go on their own. One of these tins will last nearly a lifetime, so it's cost effective, too. It heals cuts, scrapes, and burns as fast or faster than any antibiotic ointment on the market. It's thick and sticky so it stays on the wound and keeps it free of dirt and keeps it from drying out (with a bandage), both of which speed healing and improve comfort. My sister even used this to draw out a splinter she had recently. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.
A neighbor gave me some of this because I had 3rd degree burns on my thumb. I was skeptical to use it because of the smell, I thought it would make it burn worse. INSTANTLY, I had relief! This is the best product by far for cuts or burns!!! I would highly recommend this product!!!! Wish I would've known about this sooner in my life!!!
I recently put a nice small gash on the top my left hand with an electric sanding dish (wire brush) and our daughter put the salve the cut. I have been using ever since I ordered my tin.
This product is superb for healing even beyond minor cuts. It healed my cat after it was attacked. Huge holes, but i didn't have the means for a vet visit. This healed her! No infection either. Wound was open at least 3 weeks. Have used it on humans and animals.
My mother raised six kids. Used this salve for everything. I think it could heal a broken heart!! I now use it on my grandkids. Best first aid ointment ever.
This product is amazing! I have used this on all sorts of wounds including diaper rashes clears it up in 2 days same with chapped hands overnight with socks covering it gone. Doesn't smell great but who cares if it works! Promotes healing faster than antibiotic ointments I have ever used.
I used black salve as a child in Pennsyvania Amish Country as my family lived in farming and coal country where doctors were few and far between. This newer version of the old school product has the same quality and we use it for many different purposes as a versatile first aid solution
