How it compares

When compared to traditional petroleum jellies, Burt's Bees Baby Multipurpose Ointment offers superior breathability while maintaining an effective moisture barrier. Unlike zinc-oxide heavy creams that can be difficult to wipe away, this ointment spreads easily and can be used on the face, body, and diaper area. It stands out against synthetic alternatives by utilizing coconut oil and jojoba esters instead of mineral oil. In the 2026 market, it remains a top choice for those looking to avoid petroleum-derived ingredients commonly found in legacy baby brands.

1. Cleanse the targeted area thoroughly with a mild, soap-free wipe or cloth.
2. Apply a generous layer of the ointment to the diaper area with each change.
3. Massage a small amount into dry patches on the elbows, knees, or face.
4. Use as a gentle barrier on the cheeks before heading outdoors in cold or windy weather.
5. Reapply as often as needed to maintain hydration and protect against wetness.
