Product overview
About Essentials Kids Vapour Rub
The bedtime rub for a child with a cold: eucalyptus oil, menthol and camphor in a gentle balm that you smooth onto the chest and back, releasing vapours that help calm and soothe a congested child through the night. For children from 2 years, 50g tub.
Why a vapour rub at bedtime
A blocked nose is worst lying down. The warmth of the rub and the menthol-eucalyptus vapour rising from the chest make the airways feel clearer, which is often enough to settle a child who can't get comfortable. It contains no decongestant medicine, so it can be used alongside children's paracetamol if there's a temperature.
How to use
Smooth a thin layer onto the chest, back and throat before bed, and loosen clothing so the vapours can rise. Repeat once during the night if needed.
Good to know
Not for children under 2. Never apply under the nose, near the eyes, inside the nostrils or on broken skin, and stop if a rash appears. Keep out of reach; swallowing it is dangerous. See a GP if a child is breathless, wheezing or feverish beyond a few days.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use it on a baby under 2?
No; camphor and menthol are too strong for very young skin and airways. Use a saline spray and a room vapour oil instead.
Can it go under the nose?
No. Chest, back and throat only, away from the face.
Can I use it with Calpol?
Yes. It contains no medicine, so it doesn't interact with paracetamol or ibuprofen.
