How effective is Weleda Calendula Nappy Change Cream?
During testing, the Weleda Calendula Nappy Change Cream was effective at reducing redness and soreness after a single use.
While I didn’t test it on severe nappy rash, I was reassured by how quickly it took action. Within the space of one hour, my daughter’s redness was drastically reduced and there was no recurring dampness.
This all-natural nappy cream contains lanolin and zinc oxide, which help to guard against excessive moisture, as well as calendula, which helps with wound healing and fighting inflammation, and almond oil and chamomile extracts for soothing the skin.
While these components mean this cream isn’t odour-free, the smell is fairly pleasant. As my daughter has eczema, I am careful what I use on her skin. The Weleda Calendula Nappy Change Cream is ideal for sensitive skin and is free from the likes of synthetic preservatives and fragrances.
Is Weleda Calendula Nappy Change Cream good value for money?
Yes. A little goes a long way with the Weleda Calendula Nappy Change Cream so, at £8 for a 75ml tube, it represents good value for money.
While more expensive than the likes of Sudocrem, this cream’s effectiveness makes it a worthy buy for clearing up your baby’s nappy rash.
