4 Top Diaper Rash Creams For Your Baby

If you're looking to make more conscious choices for your baby and the planet, these sustainable diaper creams check all the right boxes. They’re made with plant-based ingredients, skip the petrochemical-derived ingredients like parabens and phthalates, and come in sustainable packaging — all without compromising on effectiveness.

Here are some diaper creams from sustainable brands that we trust:

‍

Diaper Ointment from Dr Max

‍

‍

The brand uses organic, all-natural ingredients that are EWG-compliant — no toxins or hormone disruptors and manufactures all its products in Los Angeles, California. The ointment is free of parabens, phthalates, and any synthetic dyes and fragrances. Similar to other products from Dr Max, this one is also multipurpose — adults can use it for skin irritation from chafing and even for bed sores.

‍

Diaper Care Cream from Weleda

‍

‍

Weleda uses extracts from gentle white mallow and blends them with nourishing oils to create a diaper cream for hypersensitive skin. The cream is cruelty-free and does not contain any synthetic preservatives/fragrances, parabens, or phthalates. The zinc oxide formula protects your baby’s delicate bottom against dampness, and the product is certified by NATRUE.

‍

Babies Moon Salve from Fat and the Moon

‍

‍

Keeping in mind sensitive skin babies, Fat and the Moon uses plant-based ingredients like calendula and chamomile to create the Babies Moon Salve. Its diaper balm also doubles up as a moisturizer, or can be used for minor scrapes and bruises. It comes in an aluminum tin, and the label on it is printed on 100% post-consumer waste material with compostable ink.

‍

Baby Balm from Badger

‍

‍

A simple formulation made in a solar-powered factory using just 5 ingredients, all of which are USDA-Certified Organic ingredients. This gentle balm uses chamomile and calendula, which have calming properties, along with extra virgin olive oil and castor oil that provide rich moisture and nourishment. It’s cruelty-free, GMO-free, and comes in an infinitely recyclable tin packed in an FSC cardboard sleeve.
