Product details

Penaten Basic Creme 150ml is a thick protective cream from Germany that forms a long-lasting barrier to shield delicate skin from moisture and irritation.

Made in Germany by Johnson & Johnson, this classic Penaten formulation combines zinc oxide, lanolin (wool fat) and panthenol to create a visible protective layer on the skin. The triple-action texture aims to protect against moisture, soothe areas of irritation, and leave skin feeling protected for extended periods. It's packaged in a convenient 150 ml tube for home or changing-bag use.

How does Penaten Basic Creme protect baby skin?

The cream creates an occlusive barrier that reduces wetness contact with the epidermis and limits friction from nappies or clothing. Zinc oxide contributes to the cream’s visible coating while lanolin provides emollient protection; panthenol helps support skin comfort.

  • Visible protective barrier on the skin to reduce moisture exposure
  • Zinc oxide-rich formula for coating and mild care
  • Lanolin and panthenol to soften and condition the surface
  • 150 ml tube sized for multiple uses at home or while traveling

Is this cream safe and how should I apply it?

For external use only — apply to clean, dry skin where protection is needed. Keep out of children’s reach and store at room temperature; stop use if unexpected irritation develops.

  • Apply a thin layer to dry skin after cleansing and patting dry
  • Use at diaper changes or any time moisture protection is required
  • External use only; follow storage and safety guidance on packaging

What are the key ingredients and what do they do?

The formula blends barrier-forming and conditioning ingredients selected for skin protection and comfort. Ingredients like petrolatum and paraffinum liquidum offer occlusion, while allantoin and panthenol provide gentle conditioning; witch hazel extracts are included in the list of components.

  • Petrolatum and paraffinum liquidum — create long-lasting moisture barrier
  • Zinc oxide — visible protective layer on the skin
  • Lanolin (wool fat) and panthenol — soothe and help maintain softness
  • Allantoin and botanical extracts — additional conditioning support

How much product do I get and how is it packaged?

This offering is a 150 ml tube of Penaten Basic Creme, sized for repeated household use or to include in a changing kit. The tube format makes it easy to dispense a controlled amount without contaminating the remaining product.

  • 150 ml single tube — compact and travel-friendly
  • Screw-cap or flip-top style for controlled dispensing
  • Manufactured by Johnson & Johnson GmbH in Neuss, Germany

Who is this for: Penaten Basic Creme 150ml is intended for caregivers seeking a reliable, barrier-forming cream to protect delicate or moisture-prone skin. It suits families who prefer a time-tested EU-made product with simple application for diaper-area protection, chafing, or any situation where a durable protective layer is desired. Not for internal use; consult a healthcare professional for persistent or severe skin concerns.
