Description

Metanium Everyday Barrier Ointment is formulated to provide daily protection for delicate and sensitive skin. It helps create a breathable barrier that defends against wetness and friction, which are common triggers of nappy rash. The lightweight texture spreads easily and absorbs well without leaving a heavy residue. It is suitable for regular use to help maintain healthy-looking skin.

  • Helps protect against the causes of nappy rash
  • Forms a gentle, breathable moisture barrier
  • Suitable for daily use at every nappy change
  • Dermatologically tested for delicate skin

Directions

Apply Metanium Everyday Barrier Ointment to clean, dry skin at each nappy change. Smooth a thin, even layer over the entire nappy area, ensuring full coverage of vulnerable skin. Reapply as often as needed, especially after bathing or cleansing. Wash hands after application and replace the cap securely after use.

If symptoms of nappy rash persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional. For external use only.

Ingredients

Metanium Everyday Barrier Ointment contains a blend of protective and moisturising ingredients designed to support the skin’s natural barrier. Common components include white soft paraffin and other emollients that help lock in moisture and protect against irritants. The formulation is free from added fragrances to help reduce the risk of irritation. A full ingredients list can be found on the packaging.

Always check the ingredient list before use if your child has known sensitivities or allergies.

Warnings

Do not use Metanium Everyday Barrier Ointment if your child is allergic to any of the ingredients. Avoid contact with the eyes and do not apply to broken or severely irritated skin unless advised by a healthcare professional. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and seek medical advice.

Keep Metanium Everyday Barrier Ointment out of sight and reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place and use only as directed.
