Drapolene® Cream’s unique formulation
Drapolene® Cream is an effective treatment for nappy rash. Its unique antiseptic formulation, gently soothes the irritation, reduces the redness on the skin and helps stop the bacteria growing that causes the irritation in the first place.
It contains two antiseptics: benzalkonium chloride and cetrimide, which soothe and treat the rash, helping to stop the growth of bacteria which can cause the rash.
It also contains two moisturisers: white paraffin and lanolin, which moisturise the skin and form a protective barrier that prevents external irritants from reaching the skin.
Used at every nappy change Drapolene® Cream can help you treat and prevent nappy rash for your baby.
