Baar Products - Iodex Antiseptic Ointment - 4.7% Iodine - Prevents Infections, Promotes Healing, Inhibits Bacteria Growth - for Minor Cuts and Wounds - 1 oz

This is great stuff. Seems very expensive for the very small bottle

I grew up with Iodex black salve. My grandma used to buy it in large quantities and give out to the family. For as long as I remember, this stuff has always been our go to for minor cuts and scrapes. It expedites the healing process and prevents scarring. When my grandma died, I ran out of my last jar of black salve and was so excited to find it on Amazon, of all places! Bought a jar and it’s just as amazing as always. My husband is now a firm believer in how good this stuff works too, since he works with his hands and is always getting hurt. We’ll buy again when our jar gets low.

This is an amazing product that has been around for a long time. The purpose is to stimulate the process by which bruises and contusions are broken down and digested by the body. Iodine is the key ingredient. It’s a little pricey but a jar lasts and lasts, as you don’t need more than a dab. It’s a must for healing from falls and blows. Recommended!

I understand that Iodex has been manufactured since 1901(?). I grew up with my mother and my grandmother (DOB: 1897 & 1930, respectively) who, having used this product their entire lives, naturally used it on me (I was born in 1956).While Iodex has always been useful on small cuts and infections, it has always been most notably effective on reducing the size of and length of time bruises take to heal and especially on drawing out splinters or bringing boils and the like to a head so as to get rid of the underlying infection quickly and completely.While I always used Iodex growing up, the product, while infinitely more effective for the above uses than modern products, has become exceedingly difficult to acquire in stores - even before ordering via internet has put such a dent in retail sales.I hope this product continues to always be manufactured and available. While I assume this product is not a vast money maker, I believe that it could be if it were advertised on TV and in magazines with current marketing techniques. Nonetheless, I am extremely greatful for Baar Products and hope that they never stop manufacturing or selling this wonderful ointment.Additionally, I must thank Baar for their sales through Amazon. I received my order DAYS in advance of the estimated receipt date. They are an excellent company.

Works great on bruses. A little goes a long way, this was always in the medicine cabinet growing up. It is much more expensive now but it works.

I've used Iodex all my life...I'm retired now, so it's been a long time. I was introduced to it by my father. It is a pain free way to get iodine on a wound and leads to fast healing. Another use is if you have a pimple that won't come to a head, put some on the pimple, cover with a band-ade, and wait a couple of days.I'd absolutely recommend this to everyone. The only reason for only 4-stars is because the product was sold to another company and reformulated quite some time ago. The new formula is more "waxy" then the original, but accomplishes the same goal. But, I prefer the way the original spread and transferred from your hand to wound. On the other hand, if you never used the original product, you won't know the difference. :)

A go to for all wounds.

You can’t go wrong with Iodex. I’ve used for decades and can vouch that it remains the best antibiotic in the market. Harder to find as yrs go by. You can apply in all kinds of wounds, or abscess. It prevents bacterial growth, allowing the wound to heal much faster.
