The Zam-Buk Company was formed in the early 1900s by CE Fulford in Leeds, Yorkshire. The name suggests that it is African in origin, and although rarely heard today, it was used in Australia and New Zealand to describe the first-aid officers present on the rugby pitch who would administer healing antiseptic ointment to wounds and injuries. It quickly became available in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa and was a household name for the majority of the 20th Century.
In the UK, Zam-Buk first appeared on chemist’s shelves in 1903. In a time before modern medication, Zam-Buk was an essential item for the home. By the middle of the last century the introduction of antibiotics saw the demise of Zam-Buk from many medicine cabinets, but it has always had its stalwart users which has seen it survive all these years.
Passed from one pharmaceutical company to another, Zam-Buk was discontinued in 1994 when the then owner, Fisons, was taken over by Fisher Scientific who had no room for such a small brand in their portfolio.
To the relief of the new brand-owners who were receiving daily enquiries from worried Zam-Buk devotees, the brand was taken on and revived by Rose & Co. as we recognised the need for this beloved ointment that has been a part of so many lives for so many years.
