Unkers History

The original formula for Unker’s Multi-Purpose Therapeutic Salve dates back to the early 1900’s. Originally sold door-to-door to the Amish and others in the Midwestern farming communities, Unker’s has now become a mainstay in the medicine cabinets of countless households across the United States and throughout the world.

Now in its second generation of family ownership, Unker’s remains a “family” business, committed to its founding values of highest quality, trust, integrity, family well-being and service to God. "To God Be the Glory" is the principal foundation of our company and our mission statement. We proudly display this belief on each product, package, literature, and company logo.

These are our core values. However, what makes Unker’s truly unique is the fact we "handcraft" all of our products right here in the U.S.A, using all natural botanical oils purchased from American suppliers. Customers all over the world trust Unker's as a safe alternative to other chemically enhanced products on the market.

Our products aid the body's natural healing process, ease the pain from a multitude of aches, pains, sore muscles and joints, and other ailments and are safe for adults, children and animals. Why buy a number of products each treating only one symptom, when one product, Unker’s, will treat so many, so effectively?

Unker’s is truly “Your Medicine Cabinet In a Jar" but, we could just as easily have called it “Your Medicine Cabinet” in a backpack, glove compartment, purse, gym bag, boat, camper or first aid kit.

You may not realize it, but when you are holding any Unker’s Multi-Purpose Therapeutic product, you are holding a piece of American history in your hands.
