Flanders Buttocks Ointment

Flanders Buttocks Ointment is a time-tested skin protectant used to soothe and shield irritated skin against the moisture that causes redness, chafing, and diaper rash. Formulated around zinc oxide, it creates a protective barrier that helps skin heal while guarding it from wetness and friction, making it a longtime favorite for infant diaper care and adult incontinence-related skin irritation alike.

Caregivers reach for a barrier ointment when skin is already inflamed or when they want to prevent breakdown before it starts. That's the core question most buyers have: does it protect, and is it gentle enough for delicate skin? Zinc oxide ointments like Flanders work by sitting on the surface of the skin rather than absorbing in, sealing out urine and stool that keep raw areas from recovering. A thick, even layer applied at each change gives the skin a chance to calm down.

Because it's designed for repeated daily use, the formula aims for effectiveness without harshness. It's suitable for babies, bedridden adults, wheelchair users, and anyone whose skin is exposed to prolonged moisture. Apply to clean, dry skin and reapply as needed, especially overnight when protection matters most. If irritation is severe, weeping, or doesn't improve after several days of consistent use, it's worth checking with a clinician to rule out infection.
