Penaten Creamy Medicated Diaper Rash Treatment

This one is the smoother zinc cream, at 13 percent.

Penaten built it to glide onto sore skin. Aloe, beeswax, mineral oil and petrolatum are on the inactive list. The page says to put it on at the first redness.

Same owner as the original tub: Kenvue. The German cream business left home after 2000 for plants abroad. This page does not add a Canadian plant.

Keep it between 15 and 30 C. It may stain some cloth. Ask a doctor if the rash runs past 7 days.
