Bepanthen Protective Baby Nappy Ointment, 100g

Bepanthen Protective Baby Nappy Ointment in the 100g size provides the same clinically proven formula of Dexpanthenol (Provitamin B5) 5% in a significantly larger tub that is more economical for the daily, multiple-times-per-day application that consistent nappy rash prevention requires. The formula is identical to the 30g tube - fragrance-free, dye-free, antiseptic-free, and suitable from birth - but the 100g format ensures supply is always available for every nappy change without rationing.

Specs

• Active ingredient: Dexpanthenol (Provitamin B5) 5%
• Form: Ointment
• Weight: 100g
• Fragrance: Free
• Dyes: Free
• Suitable from: Birth
• Key action: Protective barrier + skin healing support

Benefits

• The 100g size provides over three times more product than the 30g tube at a significantly lower cost-per-gram, making it practical to apply the generous layer at every nappy change that is needed for consistent nappy area protection without concern about running out
• The generous supply also encourages the correct clinical practice of applying to the entire nappy area rather than only to actively irritated spots - consistent full-area application is more effective as prevention than targeted application as treatment
• Dexpanthenol's active healing support via its conversion to Pantothenic Acid in the skin remains identical in the larger format - the protective and reparative benefits are the same whether from the 30g or 100g presentation
• The ointment base creates the semi-occlusive breathable barrier that prevents the prolonged skin contact with moisture and faecal enzymes responsible for nappy rash, while allowing oxygen to reach the skin surface
• At the rate of application appropriate for consistent protection - a thin layer at every nappy change, 6 to 10 times daily in newborns - the 100g tub provides approximately 2 to 3 weeks of consistent use, making it the most practical size for households with infants under 3 months

How to Use

• Clean and dry the nappy area thoroughly at each nappy change
• Apply a thin, even layer of ointment to the entire nappy area
• Apply to clean skin before putting on the fresh nappy
• Use at every nappy change - both as prevention and treatment
• No need to remove all the previous application at each change - gentle cleaning preserving remaining ointment is acceptable
• Use from birth as routine daily nappy area care
• Consult a physician if a rash does not improve within 3 days or if the skin becomes broken, weepy, or shows signs of secondary infection
