LOVE this balm! We had been using the original Boudreaux’s Butt Paste for the first 2 weeks of our daughter’s life, but she had some persistent red areas, so we switched to the maximum strength BBP formula and thought we would never look back because the maximum strength formula seemed to clear up all the redness. However, the redness came back after several days and so we were left wondering what in the world could possibly work better than a diaper cream with as high a zinc oxide formulation as BBP has?!
Answer: this amazing diaper balm.
If you’ve been using a zinc oxide diaper cream, THROW IT OUT and try this balm instead. Our baby’s red areas cleared up within 48 hours of switching to this product and she has remained redness-free since then (almost 2 months and counting). We think the reason the BBP didn’t work is twofold:
1) The zinc oxide (i.e., the chemical responsible for keeping things dry) may actually be too concentrated, thereby causing the skin to become irritated from being overly dry.
2) The somewhat forceful wiping involved in removing the white residue from sensitive skin folds leads to even more irritation.
When we switched to this balm, we noticed right away that we were able to wipe much more gently because there is no residue left behind. Instead, our baby’s skin was extra soft and moisturized...AND smelled faintly of delicious lavender. For us, this product can’t be beat and we recommend it without reservation.
