Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does Zinc and Castor Oil Ointment help nappy rash?
A: Zinc oxide provides anti-inflammatory and astringent properties that soothe irritated skin and reduce redness, while castor oil acts as an emollient and helps form a protective barrier. Together they protect delicate baby skin from prolonged exposure to urine and faeces during each nappy change.
Q: How often should I apply Zinc and Castor Oil Ointment?
A: Apply a generous amount at every nappy change, ensuring the skin is clean and dry first. For prevention, use routinely. For treatment of an existing rash, apply thickly to form a visible layer over the affected area until the rash clears.
Q: Is this ointment safe for newborns?
A: Yes, Zinc and Castor Oil Ointment is gentle and suitable for use from birth. If your baby's nappy rash is severe, spreading, or not improving after 3–4 days, consult your doctor or pharmacist as it may require prescription treatment.
Q: Can Zinc and Castor Oil Ointment be used on adults?
A: Yes – it can be used by adults and children for minor skin irritations, chafing and as a protective barrier for sensitive or irritated skin, not just for nappy rash in babies.
