5 best creams for a diaper

Criteria for choosing a cream under the diaper

Choosing the best cream under the diaper, “techinfus.com” took into account that such a cream performs two important functions: it protects the skin of the baby from the appearance of irritation and treats redness, if they have already appeared. In addition, the cream under the diaper should have a comfortable texture, be well absorbed, stay on the skin for a long time, without delivering discomfort to the child. We compared the composition of different creams for the presence of useful and therapeutic components. Some of them have only a “care effect” and can be used to prevent and treat light reddening, others effectively remove irritation and even treat damaged skin.

Diaper cream manufacturers: who is better?

The leaders in popularity are world famous brands of cream (Bubchen, Sanosan, Johnson Baby, etc.). They are followed by domestic brands (“Affectionate Mother”, “Eared Nannies”, “My Sun”, etc.). In addition, some “adult” cosmetic companies have a line of children's creams (“Natura Siberika”, for example).
If we talk about quality, then with leaders everything is not so obvious. First, all children's cream undergo strict quality control, so they are all safe. Secondly, domestic products are not inferior in efficiency to imported counterparts. Therefore, when you buy a high-quality cream under the diaper brand, whether it is “Bubchen” or “Eared nanny”, it is not so important: it is much more important to choose a cream with characteristics suitable for your child.
