Baby Rash Oil

Frequently Asked Questions

Real questions from Pakistani parents about Baby Rash Oil answered here.

• Is this oil safe to use on a newborn from day one? +

  Yes. Baby Rash Oil is formulated specifically for newborn-sensitive skin and is safe from birth. It contains no parabens, sulphates, mineral oil, or artificial fragrances all of which are harsh on a newborn's still-developing skin barrier. If your baby has a known allergy to any botanical ingredient, do a small patch test on the inner wrist first and wait 24 hours before full use.

• How many times a day should I apply it? +

  Apply at every diaper change, ideally every 2 hours or after every poop change. Experts recommend this frequency because the longer urine and stool stay in contact with baby's skin, the more irritation builds up. For prevention (no rash present), once or twice a day at key changes is enough to maintain a healthy skin barrier.

• My baby's skin is very sensitive, will this cause a reaction? +

  Baby Rash Oil is free from the most common irritants as we use no artificial fragrance, no alcohol, no parabens. The natural oil base is gentle and unlikely to trigger reactions. That said, every baby is different. If you notice increased redness, swelling or any unusual skin change within 24 hours of first use, stop applying and consult your doctor. You can also do a patch test on the inner thigh before full use.

• Do I apply it on wet or dry skin? +

  Always apply on clean, dry skin. After each diaper change, gently pat the area dry with a soft cloth never rub, as rubbing irritates already sensitive skin. Let the skin air for a minute if possible, then apply 3-4 drops of oil and massage in with light circular strokes. Applying on damp skin traps moisture underneath, which can actually worsen rashes.

• Can I use this oil with cloth diapers? +

  Yes. Baby Rash Oil is cloth-diaper friendly. Unlike thick zinc oxide creams, which can coat cloth diaper fibres and reduce absorbency over time, a natural oil absorbs into the skin cleanly. If using cloth diapers, wash them with a fragrance-free, dye-free detergent and run an extra rinse cycle to remove any soap residue, detergent build-up is a common hidden cause of recurring rashes.

• My baby keeps getting rashes even after treatment, why? +

  Recurring rashes are usually caused by one of three things: not changing diapers frequently enough (ideally every 2 hours), using fragranced wipes or detergents that keep irritating the skin, or a sensitivity to a specific diaper brand. Try switching to fragrance-free wipes, check your laundry detergent, and size up one diaper size if the current one leaves red marks. Used preventatively at every change, Baby Rash Oil helps maintain the protective skin barrier so rashes are less likely to return.

• How many drops should I use per application? +

  3 to 4 drops per application or as we say only two pumps are enough for most newborns and infants. Dispense onto your fingertip and spread using gentle circular strokes over the affected or at-risk skin area. Using too much oil at once can leave skin overly slippery and prevent the diaper from sitting properly - a little goes a long way with natural oils.

• How long does one bottle last? +

  At 3–4 drops per change and roughly 6–8 diaper changes per day, a 80ml bottle lasts approximately 2.5 to 3 months with regular use. That works out to around PKR 12–14 per day far less than a single clinic visit. For best shelf life, store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and always close the cap tightly after use.
