FAQ: How does zinc oxide prevent nappy rash?

Zinc oxide forms a physical water-repellent barrier over the skin that prevents urine and faecal irritants from contacting the skin surface. It also has mild anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Applied at every nappy change to clean, dry skin, a zinc oxide barrier cream significantly reduces the incidence and severity of nappy rash by preventing the prolonged moisture contact that causes irritant nappy dermatitis.

FAQ: How much barrier cream should I apply at each nappy change?

Apply a thin but complete layer covering the entire nappy area at every nappy change - especially overnight when nappy changes are less frequent. If nappy rash is already present, apply more generously to create a thicker protective layer. If nappy rash is severe, weeping or spreading, or if there are signs of fungal infection (bright red border, satellite spots), consult our pharmacist or your GP for appropriate treatment.
