Common primary active ingredients are zinc oxide and petrolatum. Some formulas also include lanolin or other skin‑protecting compounds.

They’re typically sold in jars and squeeze tubes. Larger jars are common for home use, while smaller tubes are convenient for travel or diaper bags.

Labels commonly state suitability for newborns and up or for all ages; one listing specifies 0–2 years. Not every product listing includes an age range.

Some formulas list 40% zinc oxide (maximum-strength), and at least one medicated cream lists 12.8% non-nano zinc oxide. Several listings do not specify a strength.

They appear as ointments, creams and pastes. Many descriptions note a thick consistency designed for barrier protection.

Besides treating diaper rash, listings and reviews note uses for dry, chapped or cracked skin, chafing, drool/teething rashes, cradle cap, eczema, acne, lips, hands/cuticles and cracked heels.

Typical directions advise changing soiled diapers promptly, cleaning the area, letting it dry, and applying a thick or liberal layer of cream. Some products recommend applying at each diaper change for prevention.

Ingredients noted across products include sweet almond oil, shea butter, lavender oil, jojoba seed oil, oat extract and beeswax. Some ointments also contain lanolin and vitamins A and D.
