Mazon Cream (Top voted first)
Updated
Comments Submitted Says:
for eczema, psoriasis- seeping, cracking, blistering skin- I personally used it from the age of 6 mos. in 1955 to 1988, then it disappeared from shelves- it was an over the counter cream and it really worked. At the age of 3 months my skin would swell, crack and seep a clear liquid- a pediatrician introduced the cream to my mother and at the time they had a bar soap, shampoo and cream-of which I used occasionally over the course of 30 years then all of a sudden it disappeared. I did have part of a jar I used sparingly and guarded with my life and I called the company that made the cream and they said that they took the recipe out of circulation. The jar is long gone- sadly and I do not know the name of the pharmaceutical company that originally made it. I now am entering menopause and my skin has flared up out of control and cortisone creams makes my skin thin and easily bruised beneath the surface which is just as unsightly as the redness, swelling and seeping but not as painful. I really long for a good skin product. Mazon was a beige cream that resembled the inside of a milky way candy bar and I believe if I remember correctly that it was a tar based cream. I have tried other tar based ointments but the oily bases tend to only create more problems- even cortisone ointment does not work only the cream- but prolonged use has so many other negative effects- as I stated above thin skin, easily bruised-like blood looks like elderly skin that has a blood spill beneath the first layer of skin and I also notice very hairy growth from the cortisone on the forearms- thank goodness I'm a blonde. Anyway, do you know of this product Mazon or one similar that has been known to have good results??? Help Please send me any information on anything comparable- have you ever heard of MAZON cream??? Is it available again, if so where?

I have an old jar of Mazon and the list of ingredients on the box are Mercury Ammoniated (1/3gr. to oz.) Sodium Stearate, Acid Benzoic, Acid Salicylate, Tars. Probably taken off the market due to the mercury.

I found a reference to an old bottle giving the mercury amount as 1/3 gram per ounce of ammoniated mercury.

I ordered it from a Canadian Pharmacy on line for $7.00 plus shipping. My druggist said he could order it. His price was $14.95. It IS available. Ask your local pharmacist.

Mazon users unite. I used it from 1952-1969. I had skin allergies so bad and mazon made it feel cool and helped my skin so much. I can still recall the smell. I just placed an order for some, I am so excited to use it again.

I cannot believe the story I just read about having the problem from 3 months on and I also remember the color it had , the clay like texture. But the best was when My Mom opened the blue jar and a distinctive odor came from within, but through the years I knew that when I smelled Mazon cream, I knew when I woke up in the morning, that my pain would be gone, no more cracked skin or red painful spots that split my skin open, I loved that smell, relief!

Sorry you can't find Mazon. I did find it on Amazon, and it is only made in Canada. It costs 29.95 a jar plus 10.00 shipping. Took 5-7 days to get to me. You need an Amazon account or know somebody who does that will order for you. Good luck.

This is where you can still get Mazon cream (I just got two jars myself): [email protected], it's from Dannorth Natural Laboratories Inc. 1885 Elements Road Unit #229 Pickering Ontario L1W3V4 Canada. I used it on my son when he was a baby. It took it away completely. It really works and I have always ordered it for friends.

Re: Dory R (# 34) 
Yes there is and i and a survivor of antiphalactic purphura do to my mother slathering this product all over me a a 2yr old child with eczema! Spent almost a yr in and out of hospital had what looked like some one almost beat me to death with huge purple bruises all over my body. So painful all i did was cry because you couldn't even touch me. Took a Doctor from China to figure out what is was. All due to mercury in there product and my mother slathering me with it on a daily basis like it was some miracle cream. Docs kept asking her for months about detergents, perfumes, diets, ects. Thank god for the doctor that saved me from this product!

Re: Jude (# 61)
Mason is the only thing that worked on my eczema. I used it from a baby until my early20’s and I haven’ t seen it since. When I lived in Md suburbs of DC, I had to drive into DC to the only pharmacy that carried it. It was worth the drive.

I used Mazon on my eczema when I was around 5 or 6 in the 1950's(I'm 63 now) and it worked. Then they took the tar or lead or something out of it and it didn't work as well. Does anyone know what it was they took out or when? I've always wondered if I had lead poisoning from it. I have gout now and am trying to figure out what is causing it.
