7.4 / 10Worth it with conditions
A trusted, multi-purpose protective ointment.
Wirecutter picks it among its diaper-area favourites, calling it almost as water-resistant as its preferred zinc pastes, easier to spread and nearly invisible, while noting lanolin and bisabolol are potential allergens.
Medical News Today names it best preventative, though not for treating active rash.
It holds 4.9/5 from 26,840 global ratings on Amazon.
The Amazon.sa price (fulfilled by Amazon, sold by a third-party seller) is well above the US price, so the price score is middling.
We have not tested it ourselves; this verdict is based on independent reviews and shopper ratings.
A good fit if
- Use it for prevention and dry skin; for an active red rash choose a zinc cream and see a paediatrician if it persists
- Avoid it if your baby is sensitive to lanolin
Product strengths
- Barrier that protects dry, chapped skin and locks in moisture
- Nearly invisible, with no white cast like zinc creams
- Spreads easily and lasts longer on skin than plain petroleum jelly
- Multi-purpose for face, body and diaper area
- Fragrance- and preservative-free
Before you buy
- Not a zinc treatment for an active, severe rash
- Contains lanolin and bisabolol, potential allergens
- Greasy texture can transfer to clothes
- Not cloth-diaper compatible
- Noticeably pricier on Amazon.sa than in the US

About the product
Overview
Aquaphor Baby Healing Ointment is a skin-protectant ointment from Beiersdorf whose active ingredient is petrolatum (41%). It forms a barrier on the skin that locks in moisture and protects dry or chapped skin, and the label says it can be used in the diaper area to help prevent diaper rash. The version sold on Amazon.sa is the US 7 oz (198 g) tube with an English label.
Key features
- Multi-purpose, per the manufacturer: dry or chapped cheeks and lips, drool and teething rash, minor scrapes, and helping prevent diaper rash.
- Fragrance- and preservative-free, per the manufacturer.
- Nearly invisible, with no white cast like zinc creams, and easier to spread than them, according to Wirecutter.
- Almost as water-resistant as Wirecutter's favourite zinc pastes, and longer-lasting on skin than plain petroleum jelly thanks to lanolin and bisabolol.
- Capped tube that travels well in a diaper bag and means less finger-dipping than a jar.
Who it suits
- Parents who want one ointment for everyday diaper-area prevention and dry patches on the face and body.
- Anyone who prefers a fragrance-free, nearly invisible product with no white residue.
Limits to know
- Not a medicated zinc cream: for an active red rash, reviewers recommend a higher-zinc-oxide cream.
- Contains lanolin and bisabolol, which Wirecutter notes are potential allergens; not for babies sensitive to lanolin.
- Greasy texture that can transfer to clothes.
- Not cloth-diaper friendly: petrolatum and mineral oil can reduce absorbency, per BabyGearLab.
- English-only label.
Use and care
- For external use only; keep out of the eyes.
- For the diaper area: change wet diapers promptly, cleanse and let the skin dry, then apply at each change, especially at bedtime, per the label directions.
- Do not use on deep or puncture wounds, animal bites or serious burns.
- Stop use and ask a doctor if the condition worsens or lasts more than 7 days.
- Keep out of reach of children and close the tube tightly after use.
