Keeping your baby's skin healthy and comfortable is easy with Drapolene Cream, a trusted British nappy rash treatment. This pink emollient cream provides soothing relief at every nappy change and also helps manage adult urinary dermatitis and minor burns.
Drapolene Cream is used to prevent, treat and soothe nappy rash in babies from newborn onwards, without blocking the action of one-way nappy liners or disposable nappies. It is also for the relief and prevention of adult urinary dermatitis, an inflammation caused by urine on the skin, often caused by incontinence. It also treats minor burns and sunburn. Drapolene Cream is a topical, pink emollient cream. It is smooth, non-greasy and easily applied to the affected area.
How to use: The affected area should be washed and dried thoroughly, paying particular attention to the folds of the skin. For nappy rash, apply evenly at each nappy change. For urinary dermatitis, regular application is advised. For minor burns/sunburn, apply as required.
Storage: Store below 25°C. Do not use after the expiry date.
Safety Warning: Whilst using Drapolene Cream: Do not smoke or go near naked flames - risk of severe burns.
