How to choose baby diaper cream

About what you need to pay attention to when choosing a cream for a diaper, tells dermatovenereologist, cosmetologist Anna Mikhailova:

– When choosing a cream for a diaper, you must first pay attention to the composition and expiration dates. The composition of the cream should be as natural as possible. Silicone, paraffin, parabens are undesirable components in baby cream. Preservatives too, but sometimes you can’t do without preservatives, as they increase the shelf life of the cream. It is better to choose a cream with a short shelf life and with a minimum content of preservatives.

The diaper cream should contain wound healing components with anti-inflammatory properties (zinc oxide, panthenol and others), herbal extracts, natural oils. You need to buy diaper cream in pharmacies: they monitor storage conditions and expiration dates. 

Diaper cream may refer to cosmeceuticals or medicines. Cosmeceuticals is a direction formed at the intersection of cosmetology and pharmacology. These are cosmetics that contain medicinal products, such as medicinal herbs, but such creams do not undergo in-depth research as medicines. 

Sometimes they are also sold in a pharmacy, but they do not have a registration certificate as for medicines. They are not in the State Register of Medicines (1) in the section “Pharmaceuticals”. In terms of composition, creams can be very good, but they should be treated as preventive measures, that is, applied under a diaper to healthy skin when there are no signs of diaper dermatitis and diaper rash. As soon as you notice signs of illness in a baby under a diaper, for example, redness, peeling, rashes, signs of skin irritation, in this case, you should first consult a doctor.

If for some reason you cannot do this in the coming days, you need to choose a diaper cream among medicines, because in this case we are dealing with diseased skin. When a child has signs of skin irritation under a diaper, you need to think not about the brand, not about the smell of the cream, not about the beauty of the jar, but about the health of your baby. Such a cream should be classified as a medicinal product: have a registration certificate and be present in the State Register of Medicinal Products. In the indications for use, not only prevention should be written, but also the treatment of diaper dermatitis or, for example, diaper rash, and in the method of application and doses, infants, infants or newborns should be indicated.

Tips for choosing and using baby diaper cream gives pediatrician Ekaterina Kiryushina:

– The main function of a diaper cream is to create a barrier between baby’s delicate skin and irritating fluids like feces and urine. A component such as zinc does an excellent job with this. Zinc creams usually have a thick texture and are not completely absorbed. The rest of the components don’t matter as much.  

You can choose a cream to your taste and wallet – from budget zinc paste to tubes with a cost of more than 800 rubles per 75 ml. 

However, it is important to understand that not all children need diaper cream and not always. Modern diapers absorb secretions quite well and do not create a “greenhouse effect”, which in most cases avoids irritation and diaper rash.

If you are in a comfortable environment, you can change the diaper, wash and “ventilate” the baby a little immediately after a bowel movement, there is no need to apply cream. When you have a long road ahead and you probably know that changing a diaper will not work right away, it is better to use a cream. Apply it in a rather thick layer, avoiding the vulva area in girls, because on the mucous membranes, the dense texture of the cream can cause additional irritation.
