As soft as...a baby's bottom

Your baby’s bottom is soft, smooth and very sensitive. The skin is thinner than adults and has a higher pH level. It also has to put up with difficult conditions, spending most of the day and night wrapped tightly in a hot, damp nappy and in regular contact with urine and faeces.

What causes nappy rash?

Nappy rash is caused by a baby's delicate skin being in contact with the irritating chemicals in urine and faeces. This is made worse by a tight nappy which both rubs and stops the air circulating.

Bepanthen creates a transparent barrier against the harmful effects of urine, faeces and nappies, which helps protect the skin against these causes of nappy rash.
