Metanium Everyday Barrier Ointment, Protection From Irritants, For Everyday Nappy Change, Fragrance Free, Lanolin Free 40 g

OK, so like many others I had used Metanium Ointment (in the yellow tube) for many years relying on this product for it's water proof barrier and healing qualities which I was never able to find a better alternative to when I couldn't get it. I use this product on myself (not on a baby) for spots, sore skin and occasional ongoing 'nappy rash' (following bowel surgery) so i was very disappointed to find that it has now been discontinued! So I tried the Everyday Ointment instead. To my surprise I like it. It is white (not yellow) and slightly thinner in texture with a slightly less waterproof coating, as I thought, however, I've been using it for about a month and find you still only require a small amount, it is not greasy like many nappy 'creams', stays on quite well but washes off easily to reapply. It has healed/ protected my skin pretty well and I would say it is a good substitute for my beloved 'magic cream'. Would recommend it, give it a try, you (or your baby) will benefit!

Love this. My husband is allergic to lanolin so this came up as the only solution but I'm so pleased it did as it's honestly better than the leading brand of nappy cream. It's *so* thick, lasts forever, and my 6 month old has never had nappy rash. As a vegan family, we also really appreciate the ethical stance of the product.

I’ve tried several nappy creams over the years, but Metanium Everyday Barrier Ointment has truly stood out as a game-changer. From the first use, I noticed how gentle yet effective it is in protecting delicate skin.Protection & EffectivenessThis ointment forms a thin, protective barrier that shields against irritants, preventing nappy rash before it even starts. Unlike some creams that feel greasy or thick, Metanium spreads smoothly and doesn’t leave a sticky residue. I love that it’s fragrance-free and lanolin-free, making it ideal for sensitive skin.Ease of Use & ApplicationThe 40g tube is compact and easy to carry in a changing bag. A pea-sized amount is all that’s needed, making it long-lasting and great value for money. It’s simple to apply and wipes off easily during nappy changes without leaving behind stubborn residue.Final ThoughtsIf you’re looking for a reliable, gentle, and effective barrier ointment, Metanium Everyday Barrier Ointment is a fantastic choice. It’s become an essential part of my baby’s skincare routine, and I wouldn’t go without it!

Love this cream. We use a tiny amount everytime we change baby's nappy as a preventative measure. Baby is 4 weeks old and is still sore free. Fingers crossed this continues with all the warm weather coming up!

Not as good as the good old yellow one but I’ve shopped around for others and nothing seems to compare to the original metanium nappy rash cream, however this seems to be the next best thing so if you’re looking for a replacement for the yellow metanium cream this one’s the best bet.

I can’t recommend this nappy rash cream enough! My baby had been struggling with stubborn rashes that just wouldn’t go away, and after trying several other products, this was the one that finally worked. Within just a couple of applications, I saw a noticeable improvement—the redness reduced, and my baby seemed so much more comfortable. It’s thick but easy to apply, doesn’t have an overpowering smell, and forms a nice protective barrier. We now use it regularly as a preventive measure, and my baby hasn’t had a rash since. Absolute must-have for every diaper bag!
