Penaten Baby Creme (5.1oz Pack of 3)

Penaten Baby Creme is a thick, protective barrier cream formulated to soothe and treat various skin irritations. While primarily used for nappy rash (including severe or blistering cases), it is also used by adults to treat eczema on hands and minor skin abrasions.

The cream features Zinc Oxide as a primary protective agent, alongside Lanolin, Panthenol, Allantoin, and Witch Hazel (Hamamelis) extracts. These ingredients work together to create a physical barrier against moisture while promoting skin healing. However, some recent reviews note that newer batches may have a more “watery” consistency compared to the original dense German formula.
