Diaper rashes
A painful red rash on the skin is due to many different factors. In babies, the most common cause is having too much moisture on their bottom. It is due to spending too much time in wet diapers or not changing them often enough.
If this sounds like your baby, you're probably wondering what you can do to help her relieve the pain. Zinc oxide is one of the best remedies out there, but how does it work?
What can zinc oxide do to help with diaper rash?
Zinc oxide is a key ingredient in a variety of diaper rash creams.
It is an effective treatment for diaper rash and other skin conditions. It protects your skin from infection by killing germs at the surface level. It keeps moisture locked inside so that they don't reach deeper layers of tissue. It also heals damaged skin cells faster than ordinary treatments like antibiotics. You don't have to wait around for days before seeing results!
It forms a moisture barrier and protects the skin from irritants.
Zinc oxide is a physical barrier. It forms a protective layer on the skin to protect it against irritants. It does not form an actual barrier, but it does help keep moisture in and out of the diaper area.

Best of all, it is a naturally derived active with no risk of skin sensitisation making it a perfect ingredient to formulate gentle, hypoallergenic skincare for babies.
