The active ingredient is 40% zinc oxide, which is the maximum allowable concentration in over-the-counter skin protectants, providing a thick barrier to seal out wetness and irritants. Its rich, ointment-like texture allows it to adhere to skin surfaces, offering prolonged protection and relief. In clinical studies, 90% of diaper rash cases showed noticeable relief within 12 hours of use. Desitin’s formula is hypoallergenic, paraben- and phthalate-free, and tested by pediatricians. The paste can also double as a preventive barrier when applied before extended wear of diapers. Be aware: it may stain textiles due to its richness.
