|
 Baby
skin naturally has many foldings as the armpits
and groins. Many problems may occur in these foldings
casued by sweat in armpits or diaper rash in groins. |
|
|
| Comparison between
Oil and Cream/Ointment |
|
 |
 |
| As shown
above, Zinc Olive lotion reaches every tiny folding
of the baby skin, to ensure complete protection.
|
| |
 |
 |
| On
the other hand, with creams or ointments,
there are corners which the cream or ointment
does not reach, which may cause problems. |
