Baby Butz Cream ~ #Review & #Giveaway

I never like seeing diaper rashes on my daughter.  Regardless of whether I am using disposables or cloth diapers, she still gets them.  Sometimes it is only a mild rash that is goes away in 24 hours, while sometimes it is a severe one that does not go away for over a month.

I had the opportunity to try Baby Butz's diaper cream.  This diaper cream is "safe, effective and would meet Canadian Health Standards".  *Updated* I have been advised that "not only does Baby Butz cream meet Health Canada Standards...it exceeds it."  It has been given a NPN (Natural Product Number) by Health Canada.  "Once Health Canada has assessed a product and decided it is safe, effective and of high quality, it issues a product licence along with an eight-digit Natural Product Number".  For more information you can read it here.  It took Baby Butz three years to get this special licence.  NPN 80005421

Baby Butz cream has a light medicated smell but not too strong that it would bother my daughter.  I really like the thick texture compared to other diaper cream which shows this means business to create a barrier between the diaper and the baby's bottom.  It is advised to use a diaper liner when you apply this diaper cream if the child is on cloth diapers.

Baby Butz contains no perfume, harsh chemicals, preservatives, and alcohol.  It contains 30% zinc oxide which helps "accelerate healing of the skin".  It is 100% natural, safe, and it is Made in Canada.  It has great testimonials from doctors and nurses that they "are buying it themselves to use in hospitals and Pediatricians are handling out samples to their patients."  For more information on Baby Butz diaper cream you can read it here.

Baby Butz are available at Sobey's and Safeway.  However, check here for listings for other locations.

Baby Butz would like to offer one of my readers their own diaper cream to try on their little one.

This giveaway will run from January 14th, 2013 to January 31st, 2013 (midnight EST).  *Note: you have to  complete the "task" of your choosing in order to win the prize*  You have 72 hours to respond or I will have choose another winner.  Open to Can and US only. Good Luck!

My little one has been having diaper rash issues off and on.  I believed I tried many diaper creme that are available over the counter.  I am able to "air her out" during the summer but not so much in the winter.  I'm always looking for the ideal diaper cream I could use on my daughter all the time. 

I was given the DpR Bio Active Diaper Ointment (28g) to test out on my daughter.  It's soothing, dries quickly, non greasy and there is no alcohol.  It also contains no zinc oxide, beeswax, or petroleum based ingredients.  Thera Wise states that they don't use them because they traps wetness instead of allowing the skin to breathe.  "Micronized or nano particle sized zinc oxide has some real health concerns when used on the delicate skin of infants."  For more information, you can read it here.  I was very pleased with this diaper cream.  It didn't have any strong odor and was not messy.  Sometimes, diaper cremes in a jar can be very messy while trying to put it on.  I just wish this came in a bigger tube.

Every cold and flu season, my two little girls always has nasal and chest congestion.  I could never find anything that could help them to breathe better at night.  I didn't think there were products that were safe to use on my kids.  I was happy to try their VpR Vaporizing Rub (28g).  Read their instructions carefully when using on children.  It is known not to leave any sticky, greasy, or otherwise ugly stains on the bed sheets or clothing.  Once I  put it on myself, I can feel the immediate cooling sensation to provide instant relief.  It has a more watery texture so it is not sticky or messy.  I would recommend this to anyone who has nasal and chest congestion.

Available at selected Shoppers Drug Mart, Rexall, London Drugs, Walmart, as well as well.ca.
