Every parent wants to protect their newborn's sensitive skin. Diaper rash, however, is a common concern despite our best efforts, particularly during the first few months when your baby's skin is adjusting to the outside world. The good news? When combined with appropriate preventive care, the majority of newborn diaper rash treatments are very successful.
These are the best ways to prevent diaper rash and maintain your baby's skin content, relaxed, and comfortable.
1. Maintain a Dry and Clean Diaper
Moisture is one of the primary causes of diaper rash. Always gently clean your baby's diaper area with warm water and a soft cloth or cotton pads. Avoid using wipes with alcohol in them, as they can dry or irritate the skin. After cleansing, pat dry—never rub—and allow the area to air out when possible before putting on a fresh diaper.
2. Choose the Right Diaper Cream
A high-quality diaper rash cream is your baby’s skin’s best defense against irritation. Look for creams that are clinically and dermatologically tested, and made with gentle, natural ingredients that provide both prevention and treatment.
EqualsTwo Diaper Rash Cream is formulated with Zinc Oxide, a proven skin protectant that reduces redness and swelling while forming a barrier against moisture. This helps prevent and soothe diaper dermatitis while aiding skin healing from the first signs of irritation.
3. Use Enzymatically Activated Oils for Better Absorption
What sets EqualsTwo apart is the inclusion of enzymatically activated oils, designed to absorb quickly into the skin and deliver deeper hydration and faster relief. This technology enhances the effectiveness of the plant-based formula and ensures that active ingredients penetrate gently but thoroughly.
4. Look for pH-Balanced and Soap-Free Formulas
Your baby's skin has a naturally acidic barrier. A pH-balanced cream (like pH 5.5) helps maintain this protective layer, keeping your baby’s skin resilient and less prone to rashes. EqualsTwo Diaper Rash Cream is crafted with a pH of 5.5 to suit the newborn’s natural skin balance—mild, gentle, and non-irritating.
5. Don’t Wait for a Rash to Start Treatment
Prevention is always better than a cure. Applying diaper rash cream regularly—even when there’s no visible rash—creates a moisture barrier that helps reduce friction and protects the skin. EqualsTwo’s fast-acting formula provides visible relief from rash and redness in as little as 12 hours, making it both preventive and curative.
6. Know the Signs and Act Early
Watch for early signs like redness, swelling, or dryness. EqualsTwo’s plant-based formula helps tackle all of these symptoms by reducing itching, dryness, and skin irritation without the use of harsh chemicals. It’s also 100% natural and coconut-based, making it safe for daily use.
When it comes to your newborn’s skin, gentle and effective care makes all the difference. A thoughtful routine, paired with a nappy rash cream that supports the skin’s natural barrier, can keep diaper rashes at bay.
EqualsTwo Diaper Rash Cream is everything a parent looks for: safe, soothing, and scientifically backed. Because your baby deserves not just relief, but happy, healthy skin from day one.
