diaper balm
No petrolatum · No fragranceEvery product here tells you exactly what it is made of — that is the price of admission.
Diaper balm goes on raw skin under a sealed diaper — maximum absorption, minimum room for nonsense. These are plant oils you'd recognize, beeswax, zinc, and tallow. No petrolatum, no “fragrance,” nothing you couldn't explain to a pediatrician in one breath.
