Originally named “Vicks Family Remedies” our most sought after product was Croup & Pneumonia Salve - later named VapoRub. It was created by Lunsford Richardson out of love and concern for his sick son in 1894. Young Smith Richardson had a severe case of croup. Lunsford combined unique ingredients into a salve that when heated by the body would release soothing vapors. Vicks continues to be inspired to create products that allow families and friends to care for one another.
