Snufflebabe Vapour Rub 2%/1.5%/0.5% 35g is a topical decongestant and cough suppressant that is used to relieve the symptoms of the common cold and flu in children aged 3 months and over.

If symptoms persist consult a medical professional or speak with one of our pharmacy team.

Snufflebabe Vapour Rub can be used to relieve the following symptoms:

Nasal congestion

Cough

Sore throat

Chest congestion

Snufflebabe Vapour Rub works by releasing its active ingredients into the air when it is applied to the upper chest or inhaled.

Snufflebabe Vapour Rub contains the following active ingredients:

2.0% menthol

1.5% thyme oil

0.5% eucalyptus oil

These ingredients work together to clear nasal congestion, soothe a sore throat, and reduce coughing.

To use Snufflebabe Vapour Rub, simply apply a small amount to your baby's chest and throat, and lightly rub a small amount in. Leave bed clothes loose.

You can also apply a small amount to a tissue or handkerchief and place it near the child's bed so they naturally breathe in the vapours. Make sure it's out of reach to avoid young children transferring the ointment onto their eyes, mouth or face.

Snufflebabe Vapour Rub should not be applied directly to the child's face, for example the baby's nostrils or eyes. Never apply this ointment to broken skin.

Snufflebabe Vapour Rub is safe for babies aged 3 months and over. If you want to use it on younger babies, speak to a health visitor or a pharmacist first.

Snufflebabe and Vicks are both over-the-counter topical decongestants that are used to relieve the symptoms of the common cold and flu. They both contain menthol and thyme oil, however, there are some key differences between the two products.

Snufflebabe is a milder product specifically designed for children aged 3 months and over. It contains a lower concentration of menthol and thyme oil than Vicks, and it also contains eucalyptus oil, which has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.

Vicks is a stronger product designed for adults and children aged 6 years and over. It contains a higher concentration of menthol and thyme oil than Snufflebabe, and it does not contain eucalyptus oil.
