Its name is taken from the Penates, the household deities of Ancient Rome.
The Penaten Cream was developed by German chemist Max Riese in 1904. The production was based in a factory built in 1908 in Rhöndorf which was destroyed during the Second World War. It was rebuilt by Riese's sons Max and Alfred.[4]
In 1986 Penaten became part of the Johnson & Johnson company. In 2000, the production of the cream was moved to Italy and France.
J&J now sells petroleum jelly in tubes that hold the same name as the original medicinal zinc cream: “PENATEN”. This is a completely different product and cannot be used as advised/prescribed by doctors, who are intending for patients to use the original zinc product.
