Best Organic Baby Diaper Rash Creams

If your baby develops a diaper rash, it's a good idea to have a cream or balm on hand that helps to make it better fast because babies with a rash can become quite unhappy. How important are the ingredients in the cream? Since a baby's skin is five times thinner than adult skin, very important. Fortunately, there are many organic diaper rash creams to choose from. Sometimes it's a matter of finding the product that works best for your baby since each skin can have different preferences and sensitivities. For example, one baby may respond well to certain oils, while another can be sensitive to them.

Here is a list of baby diaper rash creams with organic ingredients. We included prices and the main ingredients to help you narrow down your selection. The creams on this list don't contain any parabens, synthetic fragrance or colors. It's a good idea to read through the full list of ingredients on the manufacturer's web site. For example, if your baby is sensitive to foods containing soy, it's best to avoid creams that contain it.

You and your baby may also prefer the scent of one cream compared to another, so it makes sense to experiment. Check if you can test a product at your local health food store. If you cloth diaper, it's important to choose a cream that will not leave residue on the diapers and negatively impact absorbtion. We include information on which of the creams are cloth-diaper safe.
