Silly question, but I"m first time mom here, and first time my son is getting diaper rash at 16 months….teething with 4 teeth starting to pop through, so his diapers have been very loose and even though we change him immediately after he goes, he’s still red and irritated. Question is, can I put any of the “Good Stuff” diaper creams on his penis? I just want to make sure that it’s safe and won’t burn him or anything. Thank you! :)
Also, what do you think of this cream?

I’m confused. Is the Natural Butt Paste good or still no?
Maia James
This ingredients list looks good to me!

I am curious about Paladin diaper rash ointment. Is is safe and clean for use and infants. It works really well and I want to ensure that it is considered safe. I also used Drstin but after reading the post Im going to get rid of it.

Hi! I love this page and I’m on it every day! My wife and I just adopted a baby boy! He was 4weeks premature and is 3 weeks old now. He was born addicted to methadone so we are still in the hospital. Reading your guides and surfing your page has helped me tremendously!
Ingredients: Organic sunflower oil Beeswax Frankincense Red peony root Phellodendron amurense bark Dictamnus root barkMy grandmother just bought Emily diaper skin and soother plus and it seems to be working really well.

My sister just had my nephew about six months ago and she could never find any method that prevented or even treated his diaper rash. The cloth diapers didn’t make any difference either. It was a constant battle for her. It started as a little joke at first but I suggested that she try Anti-Monkey Butt Baby Powder as a preventative measure. I actually use the adult version for myself when I work out. But I kid you not it actually worked! So well that she started using the diaper rash cream as well in case a little rash did flare up. It contains calamine in the cream so it soothes his delicate skin. It’s definitely worth a look at!
Rae
What about Medline REMEDY with Olivamine – Calazime Skin Protectant Paste ?
Maia James
yes.
Maia James
Yes, the Good Stuff diaper creams are fine on his penis.
The two ingredients lists you pasted look fine to me. There are lots of essential oils in both of these, but if your son doesn’t react to them, should be okay.
Maia James
Yes, it’s Good Stuff:)
Maia James
I personally feel okay with this list, but some people won’t like the sodium borate (borax).
Maia James
I’m really torn on Weleda. The only ingredients of concern are the essential oils they’ve chosen to impart that distinctive scent (like limonene and geraniol).
Yelena
Hi Maia,
What do you think of Weleda Calendula diaper rash cream? And also Weleda Skin Food moisturizer? Are those good stuff? What do you think of the Weleda brand in general?Stephanie Kerr
It’s perfectly fine to use a zinc diaper cream on cloth diapers. It might stain but it won’t ruin them. The only ingredient in diaper creams that will cause repelling is petroleum.
Jessica
Have you heard of Little Calendula’s Baby Bee Balm Cream? (ingredients on bottle: cold pressed extra virgin olea Europaea, cera alba, purified aqua, organic calendula officinalis, lavendula officinalis, essential oil, CO2 extract of vanilla planifolia, and sodium borate). Thanks!

Hello. Wondering if Earth Mama Angel Baby bottom balm is still a go to? Thanks!

It looks like Broudreaux’s Butt paste has changed their formula. It now says Paraben-, preservative- and phthalate-free under each of the three past options. Is this true?
Maia James
Don’t know that one, but will add to list for a future investigation!
Maia James
Quick glance suggests it’s Good Stuff—will do a more thorough investigation when we update this guide!

Wondering if you know much about Rocky Mountain Soap Co. products (https://www.rockymountainsoap.com). I’ve been loving their Baby Bum Balm for my little one, and am convinced their Belly Butter saved me from stretch marks during my pregnancy. Would love to know your thoughts on their products!
Jamie
What about Kissaluvs Diaper Lotion Potion Spray and concentrate?
Maia James
Hi there. I’m not a fan of Mustela. There are many other safe brands of diaper rash cream!
Maia James
I haven’t looked into this new line, but thanks for putting it on my radar. Will definitely look into it.

I really enjoyed this, however, I wanted to share that my experience was that cloth diapers do not help with diaper rash.
My niece was set up with cloth diapers before birth, but she was born with extremely sensitive skin. Unfortunately, when wearing cloth diapers she would get a terrible rash that wouldn’t go away, even with copious applications of cream—we tried every kind we could find in stores. We learned that using disposable diapers helped it clear up and mostly prevented the diaper rash. I think it is because of the way that disposable diapers can pull the urine away from the skin, whereas cloth will absorb but continually touch the skin. We only noticed the pattern because we would occasionally use the diapers they give you in the hospital and the others we had received as gifts. It was really sad for me to have to admit that cloth wouldn’t work for her, because I was her nanny and I wanted to make the cloth diapers work so badly. We worked on it for three months, but in the end we couldn’t get the terrible rash to go away with cloth so she got switched to disposables. That was 9 years ago and now I’m having a baby and will not be using disposables. I’m hopeful that things work out better for me, and I’m glad I found this to help me pick out a safe and natural cream for my little one.Nida
Hello, love your website we just discovered it recently. Please tell how the Mustela 1,2,3 diaper rash cream is? Would love to know if its good stuff that we can use on our baby :) thanks a ton!
Maia James
No, I wouldn’t call this Good Stuff.
Maria
Diaper cream! Still, works as before
It is curious that I
Amelia
Hello,
Have you had a chance to look at Weleda’s new White Mallow line? The ingredient list is different than the Calendula. Wondering if it’s safer enough to be “good stuff” or not yet. It has the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance. PS We love your website! Having gone through more than a half dozen different formulas and needing to thicken my little one’s bottles (medical conditions)it has been so helpful to know which soy formula and oatmeal is best. We are very pleased with Nature’s One Soy and Happy Baby Oatmeal.Maia James
I don’t like Mustela, I think Honest diapers are fine, and I don’t know the Owlet monitor but will add to my list!
Tiffini
Would you consider this good stuff?
Analu
Yes! That would be amazing and would definitely help us readers to choose more easily! Thanks!
Maia James
No, actually they are usually in random or sometimes alphabetical order. For diaper rash cream, my top pick is the Green Goo—this is for both safety and effectiveness. You’ve given me a good idea with this question, though! We should probably be adding some indication of Top Pick next to our favorite products!Â
Laura
How’s Mustela 1,2,3?
Also, opinion on honest diapers and the Owlet Monitor? Thanks!Chloe
Hello,
Where did you find a reference for about a possible carcinogenic action of geraniol? (Weleda diaper cream) I couldn’t find any and geraniol oil has been shown to have anti-tumor properties. Thanks, ChloeAnalu
Hi Maia, do you typically list your favorite/safest product first? So if I am looking to change diaper rash creams to a natural and safe one should I just go for Babo? Is that the best/healthiest one??
Maia James
BabyGanics doesn’t use all organic ingredients, which is one reason I think they are sneaky (given the company name!). Overall, they are still better than a mainstream brand, and I don’t think you’re harming your baby by using their diaper cream. But I definitely think there are better options out there.
Analu
Hi Maia, so do you not recommend I buy this cream for my baby? I thought baby"ganics" was like short for baby “organic” products so I guess I assumed this diaper rash cream would be healthy for my baby’s bottom. I really love your articles and always consider your input when buying products. So would you recommend this product or do you absolutely prefer I checkout the other ones on your Good Stuff list instead? Or is this one not bad? Please advise, thank you!
Maia James
Other than this website?:). I don’t know of another comprehensive source. You could check out the Think Dirty app.Â
Vicki
I was wondering the same, since on EWG it actually has horrible ratings (as does the whole Burt’s Bees line of products).
I have absolutely loved this website and have used it for many product choices, but quick question: Are there other sources that you use other than EWG/Skin Deep? I usually like to use at least 3 and more to get a consensus.
Maia James
The ingredients are fine, but I haven’t tried it myself. Here’s the link for anyone who wants to try it: http://www.beautycounter.com/suzanneweaver-goss?goto=kids/baby/baby-daily-protective-balm.htmlÂ

Looks like Good Stuff to me!:)

You are correct Maia. Most Lanolin ingredients are not highly refined.
As a result, consumers believe they are allergic to Lanolin. This is not true, they are allergic to the impurities left behind. The sheep were fed chemicals or grazed on chemically treated fields and the wool is processed in chemicals in refinement stage to extract oils. Pure Lanolin that is highly refined is very expensive and not used often in Cosmetic products. Baby Butz cream uses pure Lanolin, highly refined, and is safe and effective. Just one of the reasons this cream works well and is used in neonatal units and recommended by Pediatricians.
Majda
Baby Butz cream is the safest, most effective diaper rash treatment available without a prescription.
Heals most skin rashes in 4-6 hours! Using only natural ingredients. Pediatricians hand out samples to patients and its used in neonatal hospital units.

Maia James
I don’t know Era, but in general I consider Honeybuns to be Good Stuff:)
