Our Story
.......................................................

Remember the good old days when ice cream cones cost a nickel? When you could walk to the corner drug store and everyone knew your name? We do!

It was all the way back in 1927, when Milford Harris invented Pinxav (pronounced “pink salve”). He invented this unique and soothing, protective ointment for diaper rashes and other skin irritations. There he is, on the right, standing in his drug store.

For Milford it was a labor of love because he was trying to perfect a treatment for his own children who had diaper rash. As a father and pharmacist, he found that existing ointments or “salves” as they were commonly referred to back then, just didn’t work.

Well…here we are in a new millenium and quality products are disappearing from the pharmacy shelf -- but not Pinxav. We've been around for almost a century and we aren’t going anywhere. Our mission has never changed and Milford’s legacy lives on -- we’re here to help heal and prevent skin irritations of all types, for all ages -- from babies to active adults to those in their golden years.

You’re probably asking yourself, where can I buy this fine product? Well, we’re here to tell you that if Pinxav is not available in your local drug store, don’t fret: you can buy it online right here. We are very proud of Pinxav and grateful for the opportunity to offer you and your family this outstanding product.
