Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment - 100g

Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment – 100 g is a clinically proven, easy-to-apply barrier cream designed to protect, nourish and care for delicate baby skin particularly vulnerable to the causes of nappy rash. The water-in-oil formulation forms a transparent, breathable layer that shields against irritants and friction, helping to prevent and soothe irritation.

Enriched with Provitamin B5 (Panthenol), the ointment gently aids the natural recovery process of sensitive skin, keeping it soft, smooth and well moisturised without drying out. It’s free from fragrances, preservatives, colourants and antiseptics, making it suitable for the most sensitive skin — including newborns and premature babies.

Active / Functional Component:

Note: The product contains Prunus amygdalus dulcis oil (sweet almond oil) derived from nuts. Although the refining process typically removes allergenic proteins, individuals with known severe nut allergies should consult a pharmacist or doctor prior to use. 

Important Warnings & Precautions

• External use only: Do not apply to the eyes, inside the mouth or on broken skin. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.

• Allergy alert: Do not use if your baby is known to be allergic to any of the ingredients, especially nut-derived components. Consult a healthcare professional if unsure.

• Monitor skin: If irritation, redness, rash or sensitivity worsens or persists, discontinue use and seek advice from a doctor or pharmacist.

• Keep out of reach of children when not in use.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 25 °C and do not use past the expiry date on the pack.

Possible Side Effects

• Mild skin irritation (e.g., redness, itching) may occur rarely; this reflects the skin’s response and not common to every user.

• If unusual or persistent skin reactions occur, stop use and consult your pharmacist or clinician.

When to Seek Medical Advice:

If the rash becomes infected (e.g., increased warmth, swelling, pus) or if there are concerns about your baby’s skin health, seek urgent medical review.
