Product Information
Full details
A+D Original Ointment is designed for parents and caregivers seeking a reliable solution for diaper rash prevention and treatment. Its primary benefit is the creation of an immediate, breathable barrier that seals out wetness to keep sensitive skin protected and comfortable. While it is highly effective at managing irritation, users should be aware that the petroleum-based formula can leave a slight residue on clothing or fabric if applied too heavily.

Is this product safe for newborns?

It is recommended to apply a thin layer at every diaper change to maintain the protective barrier.
Does it have a strong scent?
The original formula is generally neutral and does not contain artificial fragrances.

Troubleshooting
Ointment is too hard to squeeze from the tube
Hold the tube in your hands for a few seconds to warm the contents or store in a room-temperature environment.
Stains on baby clothing
Use a gentle laundry pre-treater before washing; the barrier properties are designed to resist water, so standard detergent might require extra help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use this ointment, first ensure the diaper area is thoroughly cleaned and dried completely. Gently apply a thin layer to the skin, focusing on areas prone to irritation. The ointment is compatible with all standard disposable diapers, though users of cloth diapers should exercise caution, as petroleum-based products can sometimes affect the absorbency of cloth materials over time. Store the tube in a cool, dry place and ensure the cap is tightly sealed after every use to prevent the consistency from changing due to temperature fluctuations.
