need help with diaper rash-URGENT - now Xanthum another question!!!!

[Guest guest]

I didn't use EOs in this. Actually, I found the formula - It is from

Donna Maria, but I guess maybe it is from her web site????? I had

printed it out.

 

Anyaways this requires Xanthum gum. Now, I'm sure I have some in my

toiletyry stash, but being in a hurry, I can't find it. Is there

anything that can be substituted.

 

Also, Jan (love your name!) I will suggest the browned flour. Can zinc

oxide be used plain?

Hi Jan,

Name is really nice! We used plain zinc oxide. his little bum was white

a s snow after applying. It is very thick and will prevent urine from

getting to the rash. It make a great barrier and is fragrance free.

PS DGS mother had some other ointment, did not work. She used this for her 2

boys in diapers at the same time.

Hey...,

 

You may not want to put zinc oxide on such tender skin. Yes...it does work, but

there is a better alternative!!! Go to your local whole foods /health food store

(or find an African/Carribean grocery store) and ask for pure shea butter. It's

usually sold in 1 lb containers and is yellow in color (suggesting palm kernel

oil has been added to stretch it).. pure shea butter is an off white color. This

has been used for centuries by African mothers.. I used it on my

granddaughter...after she had been " bathed " in zinc oxide. Zinc oxide does not

allow the skin to properly breathe...shea butter does.

Hi Jan,

 

I think zinc oxide is not as safe as we used to think . . . Now considered

carcinogenic linked to developmental and reproductive toxicity and immune

system harm. The Environmental Working Group has good information here

http://tinyurl.com/cl3mow I agree it DID WORK to clear diaper rashes, but

perhaps not the best choice.

Oh, thank you so very much. Just went down to see him this afternoon.

His little bottom is so sore - it is even bleeding! I made the cream

by Donna Maria (Tiny Hiny Cream). I'm going to take her some zinc

oxide and browned flour next week. We'll be gone all tomorrow to the

christening of DH's niece's triplets!

 

Thanks, Jan, for all your help!

My baby also has major diaper rash issues (to the point of bleeding). I

discovered Equinox Botanicals' The Golden Salve and it's by far the best thing I

have found. I've tried redmond clay, Burt's Bees ointment, EO's, and about a

million other things, but The Golden Salve is the best stuff I've found by FAR.

It's also great for burns, cuts, eczema, and any othes skin condition you can

think of. I absolutely recommend it!
