Since 1906
Older than the zipper. Trusted like family.
Very few products survive 120 years unchanged. Boroleum has — because it works.
1906
Born in a New York pharmacy
Sinclair Pharmacal Company introduces Boroleum, a soothing ointment for head colds and nasal irritation. American families take notice.
1956
A registered American classic
The Boroleum trademark is registered, a formality for a name pharmacists had trusted by word of mouth for half a century.
1960
Into the Smithsonian
A vintage Boroleum tin joins the collection of the National Museum of American History — a genuine piece of Americana.
Today
Millions sold. Same formula.
Now made by Reliable 1 Laboratories, the same great formula — now preservative free — still delivers the gentle, minty relief it did 120 winters ago.
One tube, many uses
What Boroleum does
Moisturizes dry noses
Hydrates dry nasal passages, relieving the discomfort of colds, allergies, and CPAP or oxygen use.
Soothes soreness & redness
Calms the raw, red skin under and around the nose that comes with every runny-nose season.
Protects chapped skin
Seals and protects chafed, chapped, or cracked facial skin and lips as a barrier ointment.
Shields against the elements
Prevents the drying effects of wind, cold, and dry indoor heating — ideal for skiing, hiking, and winter commutes.
Helps end late-night nosebleeds
Lasting moisture keeps nasal passages happy all night, giving irritated noses the relief they need to fully heal.
CPAP & oxygen friendly
A fresh, natural minty scent — no harsh medicinal smell stuck in your CPAP, BiPAP, or oxygen mask.
For external use only. Adults and children 2 years and older: apply to affected area not more than 3–4 times daily. If symptoms persist for more than 7 days, discontinue use and consult a physician.
From the medicine cabinet
Three generations can't be wrong
★★★★★
“My grandmother kept a tube in her purse, my mother kept one in the bathroom, and now I keep one on my nightstand. Nothing else touches a winter-sore nose like this.”
★★★★★
“Every cold season I destroy my nose with tissues. One night of Boroleum and the redness and stinging are gone by morning. The gentle menthol is the best part.”
★★★★★
“I ski forty days a year and this is the only thing that keeps my nose and lips from cracking. It's been in ski patrol first-aid kits forever for a reason.”
