Burt's Bees Baby Diaper Rash Ointment

Overall Score: 8.4/10

• Safety: 8.0/10
• Efficacy: 9.0/10
• Value: 8.5/10

Burt's Bees Baby Diaper Ointment is our "widely available" pick for natural diaper cream. The 40% zinc oxide provides maximum strength protection, and you can find it at any drugstore, grocery store, or Target.

The Good: Avoids petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances, parabens, and phthalates. Uses real plant oils and botanical extracts. Highly effective at treating and preventing rash.

The Caveat: Contains lanolin (from sheep wool) which can cause allergic reactions in some babies. Also includes lavender and chamomile essential oils that, while natural, may irritate very sensitive skin. If your baby reacts, switch to a lanolin-free alternative like Pipette Baby Balm.

Bottom Line: For most babies, this is an excellent natural option that works quickly and is easy to find. Just watch for any signs of reaction, especially with the first use.
