Take a look at the ingredients list on the next cream or lotion you buy. It’s not uncommon to find over 20 ingredients, which are difficult to pronounce or identify. Doctor O’s Diaper Balm contains just six natural ingredients, hand picked for their healing properties for your baby’s delicate skin.
Many diaper creams use petrolatum as a base. Why? It’s a lot cheaper than lanolin. But there’s a catch. Petrolatum comes from crude oil—the same stuff that also gets turned into petroleum to fuel your car. Lanolin, on the other hand, is a natural oil found in sheep’s wool. Known for its long-lasting skin protecting properties, it has been used for centuries in creams and balms.
For generations, moms have been using cornstarch on babies bottoms to keep things dry. Turns out your grandmother was onto something. While loose powder is now discouraged because of inhalation risks, cornstarch remains an effective ingredient at keeping wetness at bay.
It may seem counterintuitive, but keeping baby’s diaper area moisturized actually helps prevent diaper rash. A time-tested remedy that’s great for sensitive skin, sesame seed oil has been used for centuries to heal and nourish the skin.
