BEPANTHEN OINTMENT 30GM BAYER

Overview & Mechanism of Action

• Bepanthen Ointment (30g tube by Bayer) provides dual protective and restorative actions to soothe and rebuild fragile skin without clogging pores:
• Pro-Vitamin B5 Cellular Regeneration (Dexpanthenol 5% w/w): Rapidly converts in cutaneous cells to pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5), an essential component of Coenzyme A. This drives intracellular lipid synthesis, accelerates re-epithelialization, and promotes natural repair of damaged epidermal layers.
• Breathable Moisture Barrier Formulation: Creates a semi-occlusive, water-in-oil protective film on the skin surface. This transparent barrier shields delicate skin against moisture irritants (e.g., urine, digestive enzymes, friction) while allowing the skin to breathe and recover naturally.
• Emollient Softening & Soothing Action: Rich in refined natural emollients that soften dry, rough, or cracked skin, relieving soreness, redness, and chafing.

Clinical Indications

• Bepanthen Ointment 30g Bayer is indicated for:
• Treatment and daily prevention of diaper rash (nappy rash) and friction chafing in infants and toddlers
• Care and healing of sore, cracked, or chafed nipples in breastfeeding mothers
• Soothing relief for dry, cracked skin, superficial burns, minor sunburns, skin redness, and recovery care for new tattoos

Usage Guidance & Safety Precautions

Administration:

• For Nappy Rash: Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin at every nappy change.
• For Breastfeeding Care: Apply to nipples after each nursing session. Gently wipe off any excess ointment before the next feed.
