Bepanthen works in two ways to protect from the causes of nappy rash and care for your baby's delicate skin. It forms a transparent, breathable layer, helping to protect even the most delicate skin from irritants and rubbing. It also contains Provitamin B5 which gently helps to keep sensitive skin soft, smooth and moisturised. Apply a thin layer of Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment at every nappy change to help protect your baby against the causes of nappy rash, and when required to support gentle skin recovery. For external use only. Always read instructions.
