Zim's History

Zim's Crack Creme® was developed by a pharmacist in Austintown, OH. Local cement workers frequently visited the pharmacy, complaining of dry, cracked skin; the cement business took its toll on the workers' hands and feet.

The pharmacist saw a need, and began developing an all-natural, herbal-based liquid formula designed to help the cement workers. This formula became what was called "Cement Workers' Lotion."

Cement Workers' Lotion was sold locally after World War II, and it earned a strong and loyal following. After many years, the product was renamed Zim's Crack Creme® and introduced on a national level.

This all-natural, pharmacist-developed formula is still offered today, along with a full line of natural skin care products under the Zim's name. Zim's Crack Creme® can be found in nearly every major retailer in North America.

Zim's now has over 25 products ranging from lotions & cremes to pain relief gels & diabetic care items. We look forward to expanding more into the future to provide you with products that utilize the power of natural ingredients to a make a different in your life and those you love.
