Burts Bees Baby Natural Ointment Reviews Summary

Effectiveness

Pros:

• "It healed OVERNIGHT in 13 hours."
• "When I apply it, diaper rash goes within two days."
• "This stuff is amazing, I swear it works better than Boudreaux's and Desitin. My baby got a bad diaper rash and this cleared it up in less than 24 hours."
• "This is the best stuff I have ever used any redness at all I put a little on my baby and the next day it's gone!"
• "Works quick and has more natural ingredients than other brands. Usually works within a diaper change or 2 for a red rash."
• "Clears up minor redness literally in one or two applications."
• "This gets rid of diaper rash in one use."

Cons:

• "After using this product my baby's very mild diaper rash turned into a blistering rash."
• "After 1 use my poor baby's bottom became red, raw and inflamed."
• "So I am not sure about this 'new formula' I purchased first time Feb 2015. It worsened my babies diaper rash."
• "Received this as a gift. I began applying this as soon as I noticed pink. It is very thick and not as easy to apply as other products. After days of use, the pink skin became red skin and this cream appeared to be of absolutely no help."
• "Instead of this taking care of the redness, it just got worse and became a yeast infection."
• "Unfortunately it does not work for us. It has ended up giving my baby a rash that blisters so it’s almost like burns."
• "Buyer beware--- please do a patch test before you apply to your baby. This item gave my daughter 2nd degree chemical burns after one overnight use."

Texture and Consistency

Pros:

• "This paste is very thick and doesn’t spread well."
• "It is really thick and it stays on really well."
• "Really thick, so it's a great barrier for the baby's bottom."
• "The cream is very thick and goes on smooth with great coverage that lasts well into the next diaper change."
• "The cream is thicker creating a nice barrier."
• "This cream is the best. People that complain about it being too thick are really missing the point."
• "This one is annoying to apply, it goes on really thick and chalky."

Cons:

• "Because the cream is so thick it's really hard to squeeze it out."
• "It is way more difficult to get out of the tube then it should be and more difficult to wash off my hands afterward."
• "Cap breaks off too easily and it’s really difficult to squeeze out towards the end."
• "It is extremely hard to squeeze it out of the bottle."
• "It can be a little difficult to squeeze out of the bottle once you use most of it because it's so thick."
• "The container makes it impossible to use the last third, as the paste is so thick you cannot squeeze it out to apply."
• "Love this product but hate trying to squeeze the product out of the tube. It's really difficult to press hard enough to get cream out of tube."

Scent

Pros:

• "The smell is amazing, and the cream works very quickly."
• "It has a very light smell, and you only need the tiniest amount to cover a large area."
• "It applies easily and doesn't have the icky smell that my previous diaper cream had."
• "It has a pleasant but not overwhelming fresh scent."
• "Has a subtle, non-offensive (natural) scent."
• "It also has a nice herbal scent, instead of that gross baby powder smell."
• "Nice mild scent."

Cons:

• "Really do not like the new labeling."
• "The smell is ok, but it is way more difficult to get out of the tube then it should be."
• "Only downside is that it smells a bit 'mediciny'."
• "Maybe it’s the scents in the cream."
• "I just wish it didn't have that diaper cream smell."
• "A diaper cream should NOT have fragrance. It can cause your child to develop contact dermatitis from the fragrance and other ingredients. Does not work."
• "It's a thicker substance and works fast. It has no irritation or burning when applied and smells like pine."

Packaging and Design

Pros:

• "The flip lid is awesome for those one handed applications (no jar or screw top lids to fiddle with)."
• "Each bottle was individually wrapped."
• "This formula is super-light to no scent, and it's white, so it won't stain."
• "Wish this came in a jar which makes applying much easier."
• "LOVE this product. Only thing I wish was different was I wish it came in a bigger size instead of just the 3oz tubes."
• "The tube last us two weeks so we use the subscription and have automatic delivery."
• "Wish the container was a tub and not a squeeze tube cause a lot of product is wasted if u don't cut it open to try and get what's left inside."

Cons:

• "The product was dried out and old. I need to be more careful with buying on Amazon because quality control has become an issue."
• "Tube designs create a lot of waste."
• "Cap breaks off too easily."
• "The tube is very tough."
• "The container makes it impossible to use the last third, as the paste is so thick you cannot squeeze it out to apply."
• "One negative thing I'd like burts bees to be aware of is that we found a tiny piece of wire in one of our bottles."
• "Package appears to be partially empty. Tube was greasy dirty all around the cap like it had been used."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "I don't mind paying a little more for a natural product that works."
• "A little goes a long way."
• "It's very thick which means the tube lasts much longer."
• "This small bottle lasts a long time."
• "A little of this cream goes a long way."
• "Nice a thick coverage, works very well."
• "It is a little spendy, so I buy it with Subscribe & Save on Amazon."

Cons:

• "Just a little overpriced to m'y taste, but I still recommand it."
• "Cons, it is a little pricey."
• "It is not worth the price and I am still searching for an all natural product that actually works."
• "Very disappointed as it did not even last me for 8 days."

• "I wont buy again after initial 2 purchases."
• "Wish I wouldn't have bought 4 bottles of this junk."
