ointment uses

These ointments are marketed for diaper rash and related irritations, plus other minor skin issues such as drool or teething rash, chapped or cracked skin, and other minor irritations. Descriptions emphasize forming a moisture‑blocking protective layer to help skin heal.

Labeling varies across products — examples include "Newborn and Up," "0–2 Years," and formulations labeled for "All Ages," so options cover infants through general use.

Listed concentrations include high levels such as 40% in some maximum‑strength pastes and formulations listing 12.8% (noted as non‑nano) in other products.

Available sizes listed include travel and jar formats such as 1.75 oz, 2 oz, 3 oz, 4 oz, 7 oz, 10 oz, and 14 oz.

Descriptions commonly recommend applying a protective layer: use a thin layer at every diaper change to prevent rash and a thicker or liberal layer to treat active irritation. Many listings advise applying at each change until symptoms improve.
