How to Make Diaper Rash Cream
It isn't unusual for a baby to get a diaper rash; it's actually one of the most common skin conditions for infants to develop. Many parents purchase over-the-counter diaper rash cream only to find that it can be a very expensive purchase that doesn't always work. You may want to try making your own diaper rash cream before going out to purchase one.
Things You'll Need
- Mineral oil
- Measuring spoons
- Mixing bowl
- Cornstarch
- Zinc oxide
- Triple antibiotic ointment
- Yeast infection cream
- Air tight plastic container
Instructions
Measure 1 tspn. of mineral oil using a measuring spoon. Pour into a bowl to begin the process of making diaper rash cream. Mineral oil can usually be found in the health and beauty section of your local supermarket. Combine the 1 tspn. of mineral oil with 2 tspns. of cornstarch. Mix these two until they have turned to paste. Cornstarch can be found in the baking section of your grocery store. Stir into the bowl 2 tspns. of zinc oxide, 2 tspns. of a triple antibiotic ointment and 2 tspns. of a yeast infection ointment. The yeast infection ointment is optional. Mix all of these ointments in with the paste until blended into a cream. These ointments are typically found in the health and beauty sections of local retailers. Store the diaper rash cream in an airtight plastic container for future use. Apply directly on baby's bottom as needed to help fight diaper rash.
