Drapolene Cream
What Is Drapolene Cream?
Drapolene Cream is a soothing antiseptic cream often used to help protect delicate skin from nappy rash. It works by forming a protective barrier over the skin, reducing the risk of irritation and infection. This cream can also be used to treat minor burns or scalds, as well as general skin soreness. Its gentle formula makes it suitable for both adults and babies who need everyday skin protection and relief.
Many parents find Drapolene Cream beneficial for infants, especially during nappy changes. By regularly applying the cream, redness and discomfort can be reduced, and the skin can heal more quickly.
How Does Drapolene Cream Work?
Drapolene Cream contains antiseptic ingredients that help prevent germs from multiplying on sore or inflamed skin. At the same time, it moisturises and calms the affected area, promoting a healthier skin environment. Whether it’s nappy rash, chafing, or a minor wound, Drapolene Cream helps keep the area clean and shielded from further irritation.
Its mild formulation means it is suitable for use on the sensitive skin of newborns and children. The cream’s soothing properties can also benefit older adults or anyone with minor skin irritations.
