A very warm welcome to The PawpawShop

Europe's largest range of Pawpaw/Papaya Ointments.


We are the family based importer that brought the alternative curing power of the pawpaw/papaya fruit (botanically = Carica Papaya L) to the UK in 2007. We import, direct from Australia, the renowned "red tube" Papaw Ointment produced by Lucas Remedies of Queensland, and the non petroleum jelly based alternative Phytocare (formerley Pure Nutraceuticals) Papaya Ointment. More recently we have added the Organic Lip Balm of Suvana - Pawpaw and Honey, a real treat for your lips.  Please see the Product Information Page for more details of these products.
