Alpha Zinc & Castor Cream 50g

Alpha Zinc & Castor Cream is the classic barrier cream, and barrier is precisely what nappy-rash science recommends: zinc oxide soothes and mildly disinfects while the castor-oil base waterproofs the skin against the urine and stool contact that cause the rash in the first place. Applied at every change onto clean, dry skin, it prevents more rash than any treatment cures, and the same tub quietly serves as a general protective cream for pressure areas and chafing in adult care.

Nappy rash is a moisture-contact injury, and a proper barrier at every change is the evidence-backed fix; this is the affordable classic version of exactly that. One tub also serves the whole household timeline, nappy years, pressure care, chafing, which is why it never leaves the traditional shopping list.
