Explanation:
The literal meaning of Jalwa is splendour/lustre/beauty but in view of context mentioned by you, I feel that these equivalents are unable to serve the purpose here.

I think that the advertisement piece mentioned by you may be translated as "magic of vicks makes anything possible" or "magic of vicks does wonders" or "magic of vicks is just incredible." Of course, this is not a literal translation.
