I have a tube from my grandma's medicine chest. It is in a metal tube with no date on the crimp. Tube is red on top and white at bottom, and about 5 inches long and 1-1.5 inches wide. It has a twist-off black hard-plastic cap. The ointment is ivory colored and thick; I would say thicker than desitin. I don't know if the original state was different, because this stuff has to be about 30-40 years old in my best guess. Front of tube: ACTIVE INGREDIENDS Oils of Spearmint, Bay, Wintergreen (Syn.), Salicylic Acid, Lanolin, Zinc Oxide, Carbolic Acid (Phenol) 0.44%, Ortho-hydroxyphenyl Mercuric Chloride .056%. Passive base: Petrolatum, Paraffine. 1-1/4 oz. Avoir. KIP, INC. Los Angeles, California Back of tube: FIRST AID BURNS-SCALDS sunburn CUTS, BRIUSES Apply directly-or on clean cloth to injured surface. Change dressings often. Made in U.S.A. "KIP" Reg. U.S. Pat. Off. I hope this is helpful. I have a tube from my grandma's medicine chest. It is in a metal tube with no date on the crimp.

I remember having this used on my when I was 3 (1959), when I burned my hand. Since that time, the use of oils to treat burns has been proven ineffective, which explains why this product hasn't been made in decades.
