About Metanium

How is Metanium different from barrier creams?

There are many products on the market that have the words 'Nappy Rash' on them somewhere. However, it's important to know which ones are barrier creams and therefore are used as a 'protective measure' rather than to treat it.

Here comes the clever science bit...

Metanium is specifically formulated for the treatment of nappy rash. The active ingredients in Metanium Nappy Rash Ointment are Titanium dioxide, Titanium peroxide and Titanium salicylate. So why are they in there?

• The Titanium salts have mildly astringent properties which help to relieve itching and chafing.
• The Dimethicone is a water repellent silicon base which protects the skin from water soluble irritants and repeated wetting.
• The Benzoin is a balsamic resin which acts as a skin protectant and antiseptic.
• The Paraffin helps prevent water loss from the outer skin.

Thus, Metanium Nappy Rash Ointment is formulated so that the combination of the titanium salts with a water repellent base act as a non-occlusive barrier film on the skin allowing it to 'breathe' whilst protecting it from further irritation and unwanted repeated rehydration each time the skin gets wet.

The active ingredients get to work straight away to soothe and effectively start treating nappy rash. So before your baby has the chance to get grizzly, apply a little Metanium when nappy rash starts its attack.

Metanium Nappy Rash Ointment is a medicine. Always read the label.
