BALMEX COMPLETE PROTECTION DIAPER RASH CREAM HAS BEEN CLINICALLY SHOWN TO REDUCE DIAPER RASH AFTER JUST 1 CHANGE! That's because it protects against all 3 leading causes of diaper rash: wetness, chaffing PLUS digestive enzymes that get passed-through the digestive tract to dirty diapers and irritate the skin. By protecting the skin from further irritation, it creates an optimal environment for healing. Balmex contains the #1 Doctor Recommended ingredient (zinc oxide) for diaper rash treatment plus soothing Vitamins B5 and E. Balmex is a cream, not a paste; it goes on smoothly allowing for gentle application and removal to keep baby's skin comfortable and rash-free.
