Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key ingredients in Burt's Bees Diaper Ointment, and how do they benefit my baby's skin?
Burt's Bees Diaper Ointment is formulated with several natural ingredients that work together to protect and nourish your baby's delicate skin:
Zinc Oxide (40%): Acts as a skin protectant and anti-irritant, creating a barrier that shields the skin from moisture and irritants, thereby preventing and treating diaper rash.
Sweet Almond Oil: Rich in vitamins A and E, it deeply moisturizes and nourishes the skin, helping to soothe and soften dry or irritated areas.
Beeswax: Provides a protective layer on the skin's surface, locking in moisture and protecting against environmental irritants.
Shea Butter: Known for its moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties, it helps to soothe and hydrate the skin.
Jojoba Seed Oil: Closely resembles the skin's natural sebum, allowing for easy absorption and providing additional moisturizing benefits.
These ingredients work synergistically to protect against diaper rash and keep your baby's skin soft and healthy.
Is Burt's Bees Diaper Ointment safe for daily use on my baby?

To use, apply the ointment liberally to clean, dry skin with each diaper change, especially at bedtime or when exposure to wet diapers may be prolonged.
Can I use Burt's Bees Diaper Ointment on other areas of my baby's skin?
While Burt's Bees Diaper Ointment is specifically designed for the diaper area to prevent and treat diaper rash, its natural and gentle formulation may be suitable for other areas prone to irritation. However, it's recommended to consult with your pediatrician before applying the ointment to other parts of your baby's body to ensure it's appropriate for those areas.
