What Is Metanium Everyday Barrier Ointment?

  • Long-lasting: Each tube lasts up to 30 days based on six daily nappy changes.

Why Use Metanium Everyday Barrier Ointment?

Up to one-third of babies and toddlers experience nappy rash at some point. Even with regular nappy changes, irritation can develop due to moisture, friction, or bacteria. Applying Metanium Everyday Barrier Ointment as part of your baby’s daily skincare routine helps prevent these symptoms and keeps the skin healthy.

For best results, combine use with these preventative steps:

  • Change wet or soiled nappies promptly.

  • Gently clean and pat the nappy area dry.

  • Allow some nappy-free time each day to let skin breathe.

  • Avoid soaps, lotions, and bubble baths that may irritate the skin.

How to Use Metanium Everyday Barrier Ointment

  1. Ensure your baby’s bottom is clean and dry before application.

  2. Using clean, dry hands, apply a small pea-sized amount of Metanium Everyday Barrier Ointment.

  3. Spread evenly to form a thin protective layer over the entire nappy area.

  4. Apply at every nappy change, especially at bedtime when the nappy is on for longer periods.

  5. Keep the tube nozzle clean and tightly closed after each use.

If symptoms persist or worsen after a few days, consult your GP or pharmacist.

When to Use Metanium Barrier Ointment

There are several times when your baby may be more prone to nappy rash, including:

  • Teething: Excess saliva and digestive changes can increase irritation.

  • Cold or illness: Looser stools are common and can cause nappy rash.

  • Weaning: New foods can alter digestion and irritate the skin.

  • Antibiotic use: Can disrupt the natural skin balance.

  • Overnight sleep: Longer nappy wear increases moisture exposure.

  • Diet changes: Transitioning from breast milk to formula or solids.

During these times, apply Metanium Everyday Barrier Ointment more frequently as a preventative measure.
