Omnibalm launches at Duane Reade

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Omnibalm 13% tea tree oil skin relief cream, a multipurpose cream that was developed years ago by a pharmacist after he suffered severe sunburn, now is available at Duane Reade stores.

The cream, which will be merchandised in the first aid section of Duane Reade stores, can be used to treat a range of skin ailments including sunburn, bug bits, dry and cracked skin, minor burns, cold sores, poison ivy and even tired and sore feet.

"Omnibalm is truly a 'miracle in a box.' It was invented by a pharmacist after he got the worst sunburn of his life, and nothing else worked," stated Lydia Carson, Omnibalm president and CEO. "For nearly 20 years, he made Omnibalm in his lab and gave it away to family and friends. Over the years, they discovered that his product is remarkably effective and versatile. Today, Omnibalm is available so everyone can share the secret of soothing skin care."

Omnibalm is made of a clinically-proven skin protectant and 13% tea tree oil. According to the manufacturer, other tea tree oil creams on the market contain less than 5% concentration.

The retail price is $12.99.
