"Triple Paste - Diaper Rash Ointment" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. As we expect from a proper moisturizer, the formula includes a combo of effective humectants and emollients. These are the two different types of ingredients that are essential for improving the skin hydration and supporting a healthy skin barrier. Humectants in this product (glycerin) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Lanolin, petrolatum, cholesterol and beeswax in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: oatmeal extract

Talc-free, fragrance-free and paraben-free, this hypoallergenic skin ointment contains zinc oxide to protect skin with a long-lasting barrier cream that seals out moisture between changes and promotes healing.
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”: these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses
moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels
less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
beeswax, cholesterol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with
the hydration level: lanolin, petrolatum
One of the most effective and the most studied occlusive ingredients that creates a protective layer on top of the skin preventing moisture loss

In theory, they could help neutralize free radicals in skin and lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun),
but there is no evidence that these ingredients can have a noticeable effect in skin.

Bisabolol has a sweet floral scent and can be added to products for its aromatic properties
