This is probably worth quoting again.Quote from: galpinos on March 30, 2016, 11:42:08 amQuote from: Paul B on March 29, 2016, 04:32:26 pm and absorbs into my skin (unlike a lot of climber balms).I know this is pedantic but it's not absorbed into the skin.Moisturisers work by keeping moisture in the skins and proventing it evaporating, this is why "greasy" moisturisers actually work the best, but are obviously most suited to an evening/bedtime application.
Aveeno is rated by my mother-in-law (doctor of dermatology of god knows how many years, not to be confused with the Olay "dermatologically tested" bollocks that means nothing....) despite the active ingredient being magic oats.
Great post Galpinos. As a barrier cream we find Metanium (white) better than Sudocream for nappy rash - seems thicker and stays on longer. Ingredients are mainly Titanium dioxide and paraffin... blocker and oil effectively.

Ingredients are mainly Titanium dioxide and paraffin... blocker and oil effectively. My eldest really suffered a lot with Nappy Rash and the only treatment was the yellow Metanium. The white stuff just seemed like sudocrem but more expensive.(Total aside but I'm currently working on a Titanium Oxide plant near Hartlepool at the moment. Lovely place.........)
