Bismuth Subgallate Powder: Inhibits bacterial and fungus growth. Bismuth subgallate powder is demonstrated in clinical studies to help eliminate harmful bacteria, including H. pylori, which can cause skin irritation and rash.

Corn Starch: Thickening agent that draws moisture and helps keep problem areas dry. It's not fancy, it's just naturally derived and works very well to protect and facilitate healing if your baby suffers from moderate to severe diaper rash.
Lanolin: Helps form a superior water barrier as well as hydrates skin. As an emollient with essential vitamin D, lanolin softens and moisturizes the skin by creating a layer above the skin: healthy natural moisture is maintained, while external wetness is kept away. This double-action helps to soothe your baby's troubled skin, prevent further damage and decrease itching and irritation.
Cottonseed Oil: Naturally derived and safe, cottonseed oil conditions your baby's skin and helps aid in the healing process. It contains high concentrations of essential skin nutrients, including vitamin E, fatty acids and antioxidant compounds.
