Baby Powder or Diaper Cream?

Baby Powder or Diaper Cream?

If you have a baby, you know that diaper rash is something to be avoided at all costs. So what’s the difference between baby powder and diaper cream? And why does your baby need them anyways? Let’s dive in.


Baby powder is pretty self explanatory and has been around for FOREVER. Baby powder is used to prevent diaper rash and keep the skin dry and sanitary. Most commercial baby powders are made with talc – but we’re team no talc here at Olivespa. Our Gentle Baby Powder is made with arrowroot powder, cornstarch, calendula, plantain leaf, lavender, chamomile, and more.


Diaper cream works in both similar and opposite ways to baby powder. Diaper cream prevents and treats diaper rash by creating a supportive barrier between your baby’s sensitive skin and the poop and pee inside of the diaper. Our Baby Bum Butter is made with all natural ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, and cocoa butter.
