Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment 30g

Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment is a gentle barrier ointment that helps prevent and treat nappy rash. It contains 5% dexpanthenol (provitamin B5) in a breathable, protective base that soothes sore skin and supports its natural recovery.

What is Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment?

Bepanthen is a fragrance-free, preservative-free ointment containing 5% dexpanthenol (provitamin B5). It forms a transparent, breathable layer over the skin that protects against the moisture and rubbing that cause nappy rash, while letting the skin breathe. It is gentle enough for newborns and available without prescription.

What is Bepanthen used for?

  • Helping to prevent nappy rash with everyday use
  • Soothing and treating skin that is already sore or red
  • Protecting areas of minor skin irritation, chapping and dryness

How does Bepanthen work?

The breathable ointment base shields the skin from wetness and friction, while provitamin B5 is converted in the skin to pantothenic acid, which supports the skin’s natural repair and helps keep it hydrated.

How to use Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment

  • Clean and gently dry the skin at each nappy change.
  • Apply a thin layer over the whole nappy area, especially before bedtime.
  • Use at every change to help prevent nappy rash, or to soothe skin that is already sore.
  • For adults, apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin on areas of dryness or irritation as needed.

Please read the information on the pack before use.

Is Bepanthen suitable for newborns?

Yes. Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment is gentle and suitable for newborn skin, and is free from fragrance and preservatives. Stop use and seek advice if the skin becomes more irritated.

Can adults use Bepanthen?

Yes. The same ointment is widely used by adults to protect and soothe dry, chapped or irritated skin, including lips and around the nose. Use a thin layer and avoid the eyes.

Can you use Bepanthen on your face or lips?
Bepanthen can be used on small areas of dry or chapped skin, including the lips and around the nose. Use a thin layer, avoid the eyes, and stop if any irritation develops.
Can you use Bepanthen on cuts, grazes or dry skin?
Bepanthen helps protect and soothe minor skin irritation, chapping and dry skin. For cuts and grazes, clean the wound first. For anything deep, infected or not healing, see your pharmacist or doctor rather than relying on an ointment.
Can you use Bepanthen on a new tattoo?
Some people use Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment on healing tattoos, but that is not its intended purpose – there is a separate Bepanthen Tattoo product designed for that use. Always follow the aftercare advice given by your tattoo artist.
How often can you apply Bepanthen?
Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment can be applied as often as needed – for nappy care, typically at every nappy change. There is no set limit for this kind of barrier ointment; use a thin layer each time.
Does Bepanthen contain lanolin? Is there an allergy risk?
Yes – Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment contains lanolin (wool fat) and almond oil. If you or your baby is allergic to lanolin, almonds or any of the ingredients, do not use it. Stop use if a rash or irritation appears.
How is Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment different from a barrier cream?
Bepanthen is an ointment rather than a cream, so it forms a longer-lasting, breathable protective film while still letting skin breathe. The 5% provitamin B5 also supports the skin’s natural repair, not just barrier protection.
