Which cream should you use for your baby’s bottom?

Baby's skin is delicate and requires special care every day. Trapped in a diaper, a child's bottom is put to the test, between heat and the maceration of urine. The skin can become red and irritated. Diaper rash is common in children, following teething, a bout of diarrhea, or even a change in diet (especially the switch from formula to cow's milk).

Diaper cream is therefore an essential care product to take everywhere in your diaper bag. It can be used at every change, as a barrier between the skin and the diaper.

A soothing cream for baby's irritated bottom

Diaper rash can get worse very quickly. In just a few hours, the skin can go from mild redness to irritation that can even lead to bleeding. The ammonia in urine and wearing a diaper 24/7 are the main causes.

The first step is to thoroughly clean the skin using a cleansing milk, to remove all traces of stool and urine. A drying product is necessary to eliminate moisture. Today, it is strongly recommended to use a colorless drying product. Previously red, this product could hide an infection because of its color.

Next, it is important to apply a generous layer of cream to create a barrier between the diaper and the skin. Our diaper change cream contains a key ingredient to help prevent diaper rash. Zinc oxide works to absorb moisture, which helps prevent the maceration of waste.
