i originally bought this for my chickens, but ended up using it for my male dogs who i have to belly band 24/7 unless i have them blocked off outside in their fenced in yard. it works great in preventing diaper rash and keeps their skin from breaking down. i highly recommend this stuff! i've even used it on my belly roll flap in between and it clears up the rash over night. ( still working on that belly roll).....lol!

This product was purchased as diaper cream for my daughter. One tub lasted a few months. Worth the money. Good consistency for protection against moisture associated skin damage.

I buy it for my mom who has poor mobility and spend a lot of tine sitting or on her back. Helps a lot with her bedsore.

A pediatric dermatologist recommended this product for its minimal ingredients (ie no fragrance, dyes, etc), its quantity and its cost. We have been using this for 6 months as a moisture barrier with plenty left.

I buy this product for my patients love love this product

Target sells good zinc oxide based sunblock that is almost as thick as this stuff, so you can go either way. If you don't want to use it for it's intended application, using it for sunblock will make you look like a ghost, however, this stuff will stick to your skin for a long time and keep you protected much moreso than chemical based sunscreens I've found, but it also likes to stain dark items like my road bike handlebar tape. :( It has it's uses. Use it on your rashy butt crack or put it on your face and scare people at the local waterpark. Your call!

I don't know if they changed their ingredients or supplier or what, but this ointment is not as absorbent as it used to be. I have been using it since 2017, and this new pack I just got in 2023 balls up on my skin instead of smoothly absorbing.

I am the caregiver for a near bed-fast elderly person. She arrived at her home from the hospital, via a six week stay in a nursing home, with EXTREME gaulding on her bottom, so much so that it was open and bleeding in MANY places. (This would be SUPER EXTREME diaper rash.) I tried to be sure she was clean and dry before applying a zinc oxide cream/paste, (this was the primary treatment at the nursing home.) I tried a 13% zinc oxide, a 13% zinc oxide with a antifungal ingredient (Baza with miconazole nitrate 2%,) then upped the zinc oxide to the 20% Rugby, which seems to be an excellent product. I want to add, this condition had been going on for eight+ weeks, with different agents used in the nursing home from paste to powders.After a couple weeks at home with no improvement I was about to seek professional help, and decided to give one last try using a different approach. I went to Wal-Mart and bought a $10 hair dryer/blower that has a cool shot button on it, (heat seems to aggravate the condition and cause wetness from oozing blood.) After cleaning and blotting the area, (IT WAS TO RAW AND OPEN TO WIPE,) I used the dryer's cool shot mode to completely dry the area. I then applied (via the sling method ☺) Desenex powder with 2% miconazole Nitrate, to the area. Within 2 days it was almost well; it was no longer bleeding and within two more days was smooth with just some redness left.I believe, as well known by everyone, that dryness is paramount no matter what method used. The problem is, when the area is terribly raw, getting the area dry; the blow dryer was a great way to insure dryness. I hope this may help those with a stubborn PAINFUL condition.
