It is formulated to be gentle enough for babies and can be used during every nappy change to help prevent irritating nappy rash, as well as helping to moisturise the skin. It works by forming a gently protective barrier on baby's skin, which effectively stops external irritants from causing the rash. It will also help to keep your child's skin soft and smooth, as it helps to prevent dryness by locking in natural moisture. It's gentle enough to use every day as part of baby's skincare routine, and is suitable for most infant skin types, because it contains no potentially irritating fragrances, colours or lanolin. This product has a unique formula which helps seal in moisture, keeping the skin soft and smooth. Applying this at every nappy change will improve your baby’s symptoms of nappy rash and relieve their discomfort. Suitable for vegans as it does not contain lanolin. Unscented and should last 30 days based on 6 changes a day. Suitable from birth onwards. Up to a third of all babies and toddlers in nappies will experience nappy rash at one time or another. New-borns won’t typically develop nappy rash, however all babies can get nappy rash. If your baby ever experiences nappy rash you can generally treat it yourself using a barrier cream such as Drapolene, or a preventative products such as Metanium Barrier Ointment. If the rash isn’t really causing your baby to be upset, a thin layer when you change their nappies should help protect and heal the skin. To help prevent future nappy rash outbreaks, change wet or dirty nappies as soon as possible. Wipe from back to front, clean the whole nappy area gently and thoroughly. Bathe and wash your baby daily but try to avoid overdoing it; any more than twice a day will be too much and dry out their skin. Avoid vigorous rubbing when drying them. Allow fresh air to get to your babies skin as often as you can by lying them down on a towel and leaving their nappy off. Avoid using lotions, bubble bath, or soap. Nappy rash will usually clear up within 3 days if these tips are followed. Metanium Barrier Ointment will help by preventing further nappy rashes from appearing. Metanium Nappy Rash Barrier Ointment has been carefully formulated to both treat nappy rash and protect the baby’s skin against irritation. Even if you take care of your baby and follow a regular routine, no two days are the same and there are 7 trigger times when a baby may be more prone to nappy rash: Weaning, common cold, teething, antibiotics, first sleep, diet and loose stools.
