What does Aquaphor® Baby Healing Ointment do?
Aquaphor® Baby Healing Ointment helps soothe and protect baby’s common skin irritations including teething and drool rash, diaper rash, chafing, dry skin, and minor cuts, scrapes, and burns.
Does Aquaphor® Baby have a diaper rash cream?
Aquaphor® Baby Healing Ointment is not a diaper rash cream, but rather a skin protectant ointment that can be used to help treat and prevent diaper rash.
To use Aquaphor® Baby Healing Ointment to help treat and prevent diaper rash, change wet and soiled diapers promptly, cleanse the diaper area, and allow skin to dry. Apply Aquaphor® Baby Healing Ointment liberally as often as necessary, with each diaper change, especially at bedtime or any time when exposure to wet diapers may be prolonged.
How does Aquaphor® Baby Healing Ointment work?
Aquaphor® Baby Healing Ointment forms a semi-occlusive barrier on top of the skin that helps draw moisture to the skin, allowing excess moisture to escape while still allowing it to breathe. This creates an ideal healing environment for diaper rash and drool rash by helping to protect the skin.
