## Description

Desitin Maximum Strength Diaper Rash Paste works to effectively treat and help prevent infant diaper rash discomfort. Made with 40% maximum-level zinc oxide, this rich, thick diaper rash cream soothes and relieves baby's skin on contact by sealing out wetness and protecting chafed skin due to diaper rash. Dermatologist- and pediatrician-tested, it is clinically shown to protect baby's delicate skin for up to 12 hours. The hypoallergenic formula of this diaper rash treatment is gentle enough for daily use and is free of parabens, phthalates, and dyes. Desitin Maximum Strength Diaper Rash Paste provides 5-in-1 action to treat, heal, protect, soothe and prevent diaper rash, for healing you can see and relief your baby can feel. Apply diaper rash paste to skin as liberally as often as necessary, with each diaper change, especially at bedtime or any time when exposure to a wet diaper may be prolonged.

Review: A household essential that heals fast and protects even better - A household essential that heals fast and protects even better Desitin Maximum Strength Diaper Rash Cream has been around for decades for a reason—it simply works. The 40% zinc oxide formula is thick, soothing, and forms an instant protective barrier that seals out moisture and promotes healing. It’s the go-to for stubborn rashes that other creams can’t touch, often clearing irritation within a day or two. The cream’s texture is dense but spreads evenly, staying in place through multiple diaper changes or overnight use. It’s gentle enough for newborns yet strong enough for adults dealing with chafing or skin irritation from incontinence pads, sweat, or friction. Because it’s hypoallergenic and free of parabens, phthalates, and dyes, it rarely causes irritation even on sensitive skin. The 16-ounce tub is great value—it lasts for months and is far more economical than small tubes. The only minor drawback is that the paste can be hard to remove completely from skin or fabric if overapplied, and it has a mild medicinal scent that not everyone loves. Bottom line: a trusted, dermatologist-tested classic that lives up to its reputation. If you need fast, reliable relief for diaper rash, chafing, or general skin irritation, Desitin Maximum Strength remains the gold standard for both babies and adults alike.
Review: Great time-tested remedy. Cheaper at Walmart. - This is great stuff and often the only thing that works for minor annoying thingies. My dermatologist 's recommendation . However, Walmart has their own brand of 40% zinc oxide (which is what this is) at 1/5th the price. Ah, the price of advertising.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why is the 16oz so expensive now?**
A: For other users who are wondering about the strong odor (disagreeable to some), I believe that this is the cod liver oil.  I am old enough to have been served a teaspoon of cod liver each morning at breakfast just before I drank my orange juice.  By the time the 50's rolled around and Dr. Spock had become more popular, dosing kids with straight cod liver oil was less popular.  But memories of its smell are burned into the olfactory senses.  Zinc Oxide has germicidal properties, but no odor.  I believe it is also used to shield the skin from UV rays in sunscreen formulations.
I have experienced total urinary incontinence for more than 10 years.  As part of my adaptation to this condition, I have researched most of the protective clothing, pads, lotions and creams to make daily life as agreeable and convenient as possible.  Dealing with skin which can become irritated after prolonged exposure to urine is always a challenge.  The Desitin Brand 16 oz. tubs of paste are among the best I routine treatments I have found.  But these package sizes have been discontinued by the manufacturer;  there is even rumor that Desitin has been varying the composition and/or the quantities of the ingredients in its healing paste.  As codfish is one of the world's most depleted fisheries, I can imagine that cod liver oil could be hard to come by.  If Desitin is using a synthetic oil, did they replicate to distinctive cod liver aroma too?
It's worth noting that infant bottoms are not the only market for a really effective healing and protective skin product.  The baby boom generation is coming into senescence (ie reaching retirement and increased health issues), among which is partial or total urinary incontinence.  I am fortunate to be able to consult with both suppliers and consumers of adult diapers, reusable and disposable, as well as lifestyle adjustments which do not depend solely on taking more medication or getting surgical intervention.
If Desitin was smart, it would develop new branding catering to an emerging and growing demographic.

**Q: What is the validity of the product?**
A: My little one got a diaper rash from another brand diaper cream at 5 weeks old .. I switched to Desitin maximum strength and he has never gotten another rash, he'll be two years old in two weeks. As a first time mom, I say "go for it"

**Q: I want question Amazon's sudden outrageous rise in price. $49.09 for a product available at most drug stores for ~$13, is ridiculous!**
A: This product is available in a few different strengths. The 40% zinc oxide is the strongest available. I doubt you can get maximum strength for $13 anywhere.

**Q: Why is this being sold for $39.95 when you can go to a store and purchase it for $14? Usually items are less on Amazon than in the stores.**
A: Different strengths. 40% zinc oxide is maximum  strength. Look at the label of the cheap stuff.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simply excellent
*by S***. on January 5, 2026*

-Desitin Maximum Strength Paste is a staple for our baby’s sensitive skin. The 40% zinc oxide formula provides an excellent protective barrier that isn’t too thick. In our experience, it makes rashes disappear in 1-2 uses. It is extremely reliable and we don’t leave the house without it. We prefer this concentration to the 13% zinc oxide (blue label). We don’t leave the house without it and the 16oz tub provides excellent value.
