Product Information
Full details
Natusan Protective Ointment is a high-performance barrier cream designed specifically for the delicate skin of newborns, making it an essential tool for parents seeking to prevent and treat diaper rash. Its primary benefit lies in its ability to soothe irritation and repair the natural skin barrier using a blend of zinc oxide and sweet almond oil, though users should be aware that the thick consistency typical of zinc-based ointments requires a gentle touch during application to ensure even coverage without pulling at sensitive skin.

Troubleshooting
Difficulty spreading the cream
Warm the ointment slightly between your fingers before applying to the skin to make the texture more pliable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This ointment requires no special setup or preparation. To ensure maximum compatibility and skin health, follow these steps:
- Preparation: Clean the diaper area thoroughly with warm water or a gentle baby wipe and allow the skin to air dry completely.
- Application: Apply a pea-sized amount to the affected area. Spread gently; do not rub vigorously, as friction can further irritate tender skin.
- Storage: Keep the tube in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the sweet almond oil and zinc suspension.
- Daily Care: It is safe for every diaper change but should be removed gently using baby oil or mild soap and water if buildup occurs.
