Pros
- Forms a protective barrier against wetness to help keep the diaper area comfortable
- Calms the look of redness and leaves dry, irritated-feeling skin comfortable
- Zinc-, petroleum- and preservative-free
- Cloth-diaper friendly
- Short, organic, plant-based ingredient list
- Multi-use: also for dry, chapped skin
Cons
- Not as protective as a zinc oxide cream once a rash has started
- Contains essential oils, which may cause sensitivity or allergic reaction in some infants
- Not fragrance-free (though free from synthetic fragrance)
Sunflower and coconut oils, shea butter and beeswax form a soft layer that helps protect skin from wetness and rubbing. Calendula and other herbs are traditionally used to comfort skin.
