 Topic: eco store bum cream...
Posted: 21 September 2007 at 12:46pm |
I bought some of this the other day as i read it was the best stuff to use with MCNs. I have to use a cream every change as Astin has a very sensitive rashy bum! so i thought this would be best BUT! i have just gotten my nappies out of the machine to hang them out and they had a sticky, oily stain on them where the cream had rubbed off!!  so i had to scrub them with sunlight soap to get the stains off!!
Has anyone else had this problem???
Is there anything i can do short of using liners (Astin doesnt like them cos they wrap around his bits and i guess are very uncomfortable as he cries until i take it out!!)????

Have you tried liners made of m/fleece instead of the disposable ones?

On the honeychild website it gives a rating of 1 for ecostore cream (1 being worst, 5 being the best)

They changed the formula of the EcoStore nappy cream from a 'balm' to a zinc based cream, although still with alot of natural ingredients - the zinc will be what is helping to create the residue on your naps.

Which is why I have a stockpile of six jars of the old formula EcoStore bum cream in Emma Rose's dresser...

Is there a way of breaking the cycle of nappy rash? maybe get a cream from the doc and use that (with dare I say sposies if he won't use a liner with MCNs) until the rash has gone then you might not need to use the cream at every change? And will have a chance to strip his nappies to get rid of the residue from the sunlight soap causing/irritating his rash?

def try the re usable liners... and maybe put on the cream and leave his nappy off for a little while to soak into his skin before you put his nappy back on. the more nappy free time he has the better it is for the rash too. also try a pwder instead - i love curash.

Doesn't just putting them in the sun/light get rid of stains?

I use amolin for Josh's butt (have had to use it twice since he was born) and it is great and haven't had any issue with the MCN's. The Honey Child website give it a 5 (I think or 4) so i'm thinking it is safe to use.

Do you do a double rinse after using the sunlight soap then?

no i should then i guess.
I have to buy some more nappies to be able to dry under sunlight because i only have 9 so it needs to be a fast rotation (therefor the drier). Iv bought another 3 (different brands) and am waiting for them to arrive but maybe il have to do some more shopping!! *rubs hands together*

Amber I'd say his rash would be from the Sunlight soap and from the cream holding the soap in the nappy
Scrubbing the nappy will reduce the life of the fleece. I'd say treat the nappies to get rid of the build up (I've put some info below for you)and leave the stains for now whilst his rash clears up and then treat them in the summer to a bit of UV.
BTW - Fleece liners will also get coated by the Eco Store balm just like the nappy. I'm gutted they changed the formula and have had quite a few customers complain of the same problem you are getting!
To get rid of the build up on the fleece, rub the material together with washing up liquid until they are nice and frothy then put them through a couple of hot wash cycles (without any powder), that should cut through the zinc oil. To check, hold the nappy up to the light, you'll be able to see the oil residue if it's still there.
Let me know how you get on
