Treatment and prevention of minor skin infections, diaper rash, minor cuts, scrapes, and first-degree burns. Often used as a protective barrier for irritated or damaged skin.

Bacitracin provides antibacterial protection against susceptible bacteria. Dimethicone and zinc oxide create a protective occlusive barrier on the skin that seals out moisture, irritants, and bacteria while allowing the skin to heal.

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, nose, and mouth. Discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider if rash worsens, no improvement occurs within 7 days, or signs of allergic reaction appear. Not for deep or puncture wounds, animal bites, or serious burns.
