Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment 30g

Read the instructions: Carefully read and follow the instructions provided with the Bepanthen product you are using. The instructions will provide specific guidance on how to use the product correctly and safely.

External use only: Bepanthen products are designed for external use only. Avoid applying them to open wounds, mucous membranes, or near the eyes. If the product comes into contact with sensitive areas, rinse thoroughly with water.

Allergic reactions: If you have known allergies or sensitivities to any of the ingredients in Bepanthen, it is advisable to perform a patch test before using it on larger areas of the skin. Apply a small amount of the product to a small area of skin and monitor for any adverse reactions such as redness, itching, or swelling. If you experience any allergic reactions, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

1. Cleanse the area: Before applying Bepanthen, make sure the area is clean and dry. Gently cleanse the affected area with mild soap and water and pat it dry.

2. Apply a thin layer: Take a small amount of Bepanthen ointment and apply it to the affected area. Use your fingertips to gently spread a thin and even layer over the skin.

3. Massage gently: Once applied, you can gently massage the cream or ointment into the skin using circular motions. This can help with absorption and promote better results.

4. Repeat as needed: You can apply Bepanthen multiple times a day, as needed. However, always follow the specific instructions provided with the product or consult a healthcare professional for the recommended frequency of use.

5. Wash hands after application: After applying Bepanthen, remember to wash your hands thoroughly to remove any residue.

The Bepanthen formulation consists of the following ingredients: Aqua, Lanolin, Paraffinum liquidum, Petrolatum, Panthenol, Prunus amygdalus dulcis oil, Cera alba, Cetyl alcohol, Stearyl alcohol, Ozokerite, Glyceryl oleate, and Lanolin alcohol.

The product contains paraffin oil, petrolatum, and almond oil, which work together to create a protective layer on the skin.

It is important to note that the product contains Prunus amygdalus dulcis oil (sweet almond oil), which is derived from nuts. While any allergy-causing proteins from almonds are typically removed during the refining process, we cannot guarantee their complete removal. Therefore, we cannot recommend the product for individuals with a nut allergy.

If you have concerns about using the product due to a nut allergy, it is advisable to consult with your doctor or pharmacist for personalised advice and guidance.

Bepanthen is generally well-tolerated and side effects are rare. However, as with any skincare product, there is a possibility of experiencing certain side effects. The most commonly reported side effects associated with Bepanthen are mild and may include:

1. Skin irritation: Some individuals may experience mild skin irritation, redness, or itching at the site of application. This can be a result of individual sensitivity to one or more ingredients in the product.

2. Allergic reactions: While rare, some individuals may be allergic to specific ingredients in Bepanthen. Allergic reactions may manifest as skin rash, hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing. If you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, discontinue use and seek medical attention immediately.

3. Breakouts or acne: In rare cases, Bepanthen may cause breakouts or worsen acne in individuals with acne-prone skin. This is more likely to occur if the product is applied in excessive amounts or not adequately removed from the skin.
