Tiger Balm White/Red Ointment

Tiger Balm (Haw Par Corporation) ・ Medicinal-type Sold in MY only

About this product

World-famous ointment brand from Singapore's Haw Par Corporation, a staple in Malaysian pharmacies. Cheaper than in Japan, it is a popular pick-up for travelers despite not being a Malaysian brand.

Note that this is a Singaporean brand, not made in Malaysia. In Japan it contains medicinal ingredients (camphor, menthol and the like), so bring personal-use quantities only. Ointments can count as gels under carry-on limits

Best for: For yourself, Friends
