It is frightening against the erythemas diaper and other rednesses. It is a lotion without rinsing what leaves a fine protective layer on the skin thanks to the olive oil.
For a quick wash, soak a reusable wipe, wipe the urine and stool from the pubic area to the buttocks to avoid any urinary infections. Reiterate the operation if necessary and leave a surplus of liniment to protect baby's skin. Baby is ready for a clean diaper.
