Notes
- Before applying the diaper cream, perform a patch test. Rub a small amount of diaper cream on your baby's inner arm and watch for adverse reactions before continuing.

- This cream will be firmer in cooler weather and softer in hot temperatures. If it's too cold to easily apply, put a small amount in your hand and warm it up first.
