Organic diaper cream

I am looking for an organic diaper cream, as I recently found out desitin is a 5 on the cosmetics database website. Any suggestions?



Also, has anyone heard that any kind of lavender is bad for boys? Several organic baby products have lavender.

Actually I don't believe lavendar is bad for boys. I use it on my son, and he has excema and the lavendar is supposed to help with excema.



I used to use all the fancy creams and such too. I don't know if this is considered "healthy" or not, but figure it's gotta be better than the other stuff. I use plain old vaseline. Works wonders and quite quickly.

I really like the Earths Best brand of diaper cream...Ive tried a few others, but this is the only one that worked when his bum got a little pink.

I find that aloe vera gel straight from the plant clears up really bad nappy rash overnight

I like organic extra virgin coconut oil. Its a natural anti fungal and will help fight yeast infections, it's easily absorbed into the skin to moisturize as well as providing a gentle barrier.

I have been using organic shea butter on my son's very sensitive bum and it has worked wonders.  Since we live in a very dry area, I melt shea butter (ordered it online) and whip it into a body butter to use on as a lotion on with the entire family.

I've never heard anything negative about lavender. In regards to an organic diaper cream, check burts bees?

Why is lavender bad for boys? You can use aloe gel, coloidal silver, and organic shea butter for diaper creams.
