Bepanthen

Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment is described as an easy-to- apply breathable barrier cream that helps protect from the causes of nappy rash – particularly at night when the nappy will be on the longest. Free from antiseptics, fragrances, colours and preservatives, the ointment can be used at every nappy change including that for premature babies. The water-in-oil formulation keeps the skin healthy and hydrated, while Pro Vitamin B5 gently aids the natural recovery of sensitive skin, says Ceuta Healthcare.
