The first-of-its kind nappy helping to protect newborn skin against irritation
A nappy with a zinc-enriched layer? Genius!
With baby skin up to 30 per cent thinner than adult skin, parents and will go to great lengths to protect it from irritation.
“The environment in a nappy is the perfect recipe for skin irritation, which can be distressing for babies and make nappy changes uncomfortable,” explains paediatric skin dermatologist, Dr Deshan Sebaratnam.
“Dermatologists have been using zinc-based barrier creams for decades to help protect baby’s skin from irritation, as well as help re-establish the barrier function of the skin.”
New research polling 1,000 Australian parents with children aged 0-5 years old finds baby skin irritation, such as nappy rash, is the number one concern for almost two in three (62%) parents, followed by sleeping (53%) and feeding (49%).
The research also reveals the majority (86%) of Aussie parents have experienced skin irritation with their newborn.
