Boudreaux's Butt Paste® Maximum Strength Diaper Rash Cream (57g) is a high-potency zinc oxide-based barrier treatment formulated to provide rapid relief and long-lasting protection against moderate to severe diaper rash in infants and toddlers. Engineered with 40% zinc oxide, the maximum allowable over-the-counter concentration, this cream offers a clinically significant occlusive effect, accelerating skin healing while creating a resilient barrier against moisture, friction, and irritants. Its thick consistency and fast-acting formula make it especially effective for managing persistent, inflamed, or compromised diaper-area skin.
Advanced Dermatological & Pharmacological Profile
1. Active Ingredient
Zinc Oxide (40%) – Maximum OTC Strength
Forms a robust, protective film over irritated skin, shielding against further exposure to wetness, urine, feces, and mechanical friction.
Possesses anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and wound-healing properties.
Aids in reducing erythema (redness), irritation, and maceration, particularly in moist occluded areas like the diaper zone.
Helps restore the skin’s natural pH and promotes keratinocyte regeneration, essential for healing damaged epidermal tissue.
2. Inactive Yet Functionally Important Ingredients
Castor Seed Oil (Ricinus communis)
A naturally derived emollient with ricinoleic acid, offering antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Penetrates deeply to condition and soothe irritated skin while supporting the structural integrity of the skin barrier.
Mineral Oil
Acts as a gentle, non-comedogenic occlusive agent, helping to trap moisture and prevent transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
Reinforces the protective function of zinc oxide by forming a secondary lipid layer.
Paraffin & White Petrolatum
Provide intensive occlusion, ideal for overnight use or cases of prolonged skin exposure to wet diapers.
Protects against MASD (moisture-associated skin damage), which contributes to severe rash development.
Peru Balsam
A resin-based ingredient with antiseptic, healing, and skin-regenerative properties.
Helps support skin barrier repair and improves the cream’s adherence to moist or broken skin.
Therapeutic Benefits and Mechanism of Action
Forms a durable, water-resistant barrier that remains in place even under high-moisture or high-friction conditions.
Neutralizes inflammatory triggers associated with prolonged contact with ammonia, enzymes, and friction.
Soothes on contact, offering quick relief from burning, stinging, and itching.
Supports rapid epidermal turnover and reconstitution of the stratum corneum in compromised diaper-area skin.
