Re: Cynthia Bliss (# 1)

I’m looking for it also. My wife wants it for her breakouts on her back and arms. Nothing else is working. She has has scripts and gone to dermatologists and allergists no one knows what’s wrong. She says it feels like pack men biting her. The only thing that helps a little is Benadryl but that’s only temporary.
So sad that nobody knows what is wrong with her.

They had a long shut down poslum mill in eastern Oregon, that was in the 70s. Good luck

I have the last of a jar bought in 1966....

Still effective... No, I'm not going to sell it. But that's probably the reason it's no longer being sold: Reasonable price + long lasting efficacy.

Hello Great Granddaughter. Reading your post of Plexolan & I myself and many friends are soooo wanting to purchase Plexolan!! I noticed the date of your post, back in 2015. Any Plexolan available? I sure wish this magic cream was in stock and on shelves. Plexolan is/was the best!

Re: Susieboots (# 65)

I have been searching for Plexolan for a few many years!! Stuff was magic!! I don't believe that it had a menthol smell. My family & I liked the the scent. I would put this on my youngest cheeks & her thumb, due to her thumb sucking. Winters would rash & shafe. By next morning sooo cleared up. I was introduced to Plexolan for my girls from a wiser elder woman? As I too introduced family & friends of this magic cream! Its a shame its not made anymore. Haven't been able to purchase any tubes for 14+ yrs! As that elder wiser woman 1st expressed some of the uses of Plexolan. 1 was, even when her littles cried over a tummy ache, she would rub some on their lil bellies? Plexolan is not forgotten, But sure is missed!

I grew up using it and they even has a soap. I used it all threw school in the 60's and never had a blemish. I had the most beautiful skin. When I couldn't get it my skin was not the same

I found a piece of newspaper "Boston Post" on the floor of my New Hampshire barn from 1914. It said POSLAM "clear the skin over night"... so it must have been around since at least then... Interesting.
