Diaper rash is the most common skin disorder of infancy with the peak incidence rate occurring when baby is between 8 and 10 months old. No matter how careful you are, almost all children in diapers will get some form of diaper rash.

Diaper rashes can be caused by friction, allergies, infections, diarrhea, or any number of systemic diseases, however the underlying cause of all types of diaper rash is skin wetness.

Urinary wetness increases skin friction, raises the skin pH and generally makes the skin more permeable. These effects combine to make the skin more vulnerable to the action of friction or irritants which causes the skin to become inflamed.

Obviously, an important part of reducing the likelihood of diaper rash is to try and minimize the wetness. Frequent diaper changes are a good idea, but certainly you also need to use a protective cream.

Diaper creams are primarily designed to create a moisture barrier between the skin and the diaper to reduce the penetration of the urine acids. The viscosity of the cream also reduces the chaffing of the skin against the diaper.

Low-cost formulations tend to confine their ambition to providing this basic protection—although many use petroleum-based ingredients to achieve it.

In addition, more advanced formulations try to help reduce inflammation and soothe the damaged skin when a rash does appear.

We designed Cellex-C’s Diaper Rash Ointment to excel in all these tasks while still adhering to our uncompromising policy of using only the best, natural ingredients.

Of course, using the best is never the most economical manufacturing route—the echium oil, enviropure and azulene in our formulation could all have been substituted for cheaper (and lesser) ingredients.

But then there’s the question, is anything too expensive when it comes to helping a baby avoid discomfort? We don’t think so.

And the result is a wonderfully effective new product Diaper Rash Ointment. A truly superior, chemical free, diaper cream formulation.

The onset and common discomforts of diaper rash can now be conquered—gently.
