Burt's Bees Baby 2-in-1 Diaper Cream and Powder with Shea Butter, Pediatrician Tested, 4 Ounces

I originally purchased this product by mistake. My son was born 2 months early and was in the NICU. He had developed a diaper rash after about 2 weeks and the nurses were using Destin which was the only diaper cream selection provided by the hospital. It wasn't working and the rash was getting worse. They let me know I could provide any cream/ointment I wanted to for my little babe and several of them suggested the Burt's Bees Diaper Ointment. (As I quickly learned getting advice about a baby product from the NICU nurse was like a master class in baby care.) Being a sleep deprived new NICU mom I ran over to the nearest Target and grabbed the Burt's Bees Diaper Cream & Powder not realizing this is different from the Burt's Bees Diaper Ointment. At the time it was a rather new product to their baby offerings. I took it back to the NICU and started using it. It immediately helped clear up the rash and became the new favorite cream of the NICU nurses because it is easy to apply, thin and dries quickly. During my son's tenure in the hospital I ended up purchasing several tubes for other NICU moms and it helped all of their babes rashes.While it cleared up his rash in the NICU, over the past 5 months I have experimented with several different creams and ointments including Burt's Bees Diaper Ointment, Desitin, A&D, Butt Paste, Honest Diaper Cream and Aquaphor. The Burt's Bees Diaper Cream & Powder is still by far my favorite and works the best on my little guy for preventing rash. I love the pleasant fresh baby powder smell. I find the Burt's Bees Diaper Ointment lavender smell to be very overpowering and the Butt Paste/Desitn both smell like feet. The best analogy I can use for this cream verses other thicker creams/ointments is that this is more like a nice car wax. If you apply it at every diaper change it will keep your car looking nice and the rash away. If your car (baby's bottom) is already scratched or damaged (sores or rash) then you need to get a whole new paint job. Preventative maintenance will no longer help and a thicker more healing cream or ointment may work better to clear up the rash. I would recommend the Honest Organic Healing Balm (not sold on Amazon) for healing rash and sores that are already existing. On the very rare occasions my babe does start to develop a slight rash I immediately use the Honest Organic Healing Balm and top with the Burt's Bees Diaper Cream & Powder. The one two punch is the perfect combo for him.Pros- thin cream- dries quickly- pleasant baby powder smell that is not overpowering- great for prevention of rashCons- white powder residue can rub on dark colored clothing- oil and cream separate as you get towards the bottom of the tubeWhile no diaper cream is the holy grail the best prevention, as all moms know, is frequent diaper changes and keeping those bums clean & dry.

I absolutely love this product and it has become a "must have" in our medicine cabinet. I'm a couple years past the diaper stage now, but I've still found that this product is so useful that I need to keep it on hand. My favorite diaper cream was Burt's Bees Baby Bee Cream, which has a slight lavender scent and is much thicker. However, now that my babies are a few years older, the cream-to-powder is what I use. It is absolutely the best for rashes from sweating or chafing. It is our "go to" product in the summer -- and my husband and I both use it, too! I love the fact that the cream has the oil that comes out with it, which makes it so, so easy to spread -- especially if you are spreading it on an already-tender bum you don't want anything that pulls even the tiniest bit.. I'm quite honestly shocked to see so many bad reviews. Just know that there will be oil that comes out with the cream and then it will turn into a smooth, dry powder with a very pleasant, light baby powder scent. As long as you know what to expect with the oil and dispense with that in mind, you'll probably love it.

Just wanted to say that I've been using this product since they came out with it and I'VE NEVER HAD A BABY. It is moisture resistant, so works well on hands, etc. I tried it when I first saw it because another company had test marketed a similar product in the 80s (which I loved) but they never had any success marketing it and it was discontinued.This is my favorite Burt's Bees product, though I also like their Almond and Milk hand cream (which tends to be a little greasy).****Update: May have gotten an old batch, or maybe I just kept it in my cupboard too long before using, but this order separated (as another reviewer had noted). I have never had that experience with this product before. Maybe next time I will not order any until I am totally out of what I have.

You guys ruined it!! Your bad reviews killed the best ball powder a man can buy. "Chunky and greasy"?! You have to shake it, fool! It's mostly natural, it's not going to stay a perfect consistency without some agitation. It doesn't even take much after a fresh shave. A dollup will do ya. I used to use shower to shower baby powder back when you could only find the feminine fragrances at WM so I went around with lovely vanilla junk for many years. Used to hurriedly towel it off before crucial moments out of embarrassment. Then along came Burts Bees Baby Cream to Powder and for so many years I haven't even had to think about how to manage that stuff until you all had to mess it all up. I don't know. Maybe it's just a supply chain thing.

With supply chain issues, it was difficult to get the original Burt's bees cream to powder diaper cream, so I thought I would try this. It went on like oily Vaseline, which I thought okay a little different, probably the shea butter. It never went to powder and after using it for a little bit, the oil has now separated, and every time you squeeze it to use it, it squirts oily liquid all over the place. I don't know if something went bad, but clearly something separated like natural peanut butter or something. It was okay to use, not the same as the original, until every time you try to use it you had to spend more time cleaning oily residue off of everything. Do not buy this, get the original!

I was looking for something all natural for my baby, instead of using a powder after changing and this seem to fit the bill. However, this really has to be shaken up alot and still somedays alot of oil that comes out before any cream does. So the oil ingredients separate from the cream layer and it makes it messy. I wish the product had a better emulsion, or came in a jar that can be stirred or something. I bought this in March, so its not hot here yet, so I don't think that added to the oil layer separating. On the plus side, I love the scent.
