Available in a handy 55g/2oz tube, it fits perfectly in a changing bag. At £5.99 for such a small amount it does seem expensive but a little goes a long way, so it should last several months.
Burt's Bees says all its Baby Bee products undergo paediatric testing, on babies aged 3 months to 13 years.
What we love
Many of the existing nappy rash treatments have a clinical, antiseptic smell. Not this one. Although the smell of honey is hard to pick out, extracts of lavender and chamomile create a lovely fresh scent that lasts for hours.
Poppy, 12 weeks, has had nappy rash since she was a few days old. And despite using a range of creams, I have yet to find anything that solves the problem in the long term. A liberal application of the Burt’s Bees Baby Bee Diaper Ointment certainly kept the rash at bay for a day or so, but didn’t prevent it reoccurring.
The tube is a more hygienic way to use cream than a traditional pot.
What to watch out for
In order to form a barrier, the ointment has to create a seal on your baby’s bottom. As a result the cream, like most nappy ointments, is thick and is hard to shift from your hands. If, like me, you often end up changing nappies on park benches you’ll have to be careful not to get it all over your clothes mid-change.
The product has been tested on babies from 3 months but not from birth.
A flip top on the packaging would be useful to avoid the problem of the lost lid!
Who is Burt’s Bees Baby Bee Diaper Ointment best for?
Mums who favour natural, chemical-free products to pop in their changing bag.
Burt’s Bees Baby Bee Diaper Ointment is a fresh-smelling product in a handy sized tube. It’s an effective barrier cream, so hard to shift from your own hands - watch your clothes when changing on the go.
