Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Ovelle Zinc & Castor Oil and Sudocrem?
Both are zinc oxide-based barrier creams used for nappy rash and skin protection. The key differences are formulation and texture. Ovelle Zinc & Castor Oil Ointment is a thicker, more occlusive ointment — it provides a stronger, longer-lasting barrier, particularly useful for severe nappy rash or pressure area care. Sudocrem is a lighter cream with additional ingredients including antiseptic components. Many Irish families use Ovelle Zinc & Castor Oil as their primary barrier ointment and Sudocrem as a secondary, lighter option. Both are available from Chemco Pharmacy.
Can Ovelle Zinc & Castor Oil Ointment be used on newborns?
Yes. The fragrance-free, simple formula makes it suitable for newborn skin. It is one of the most commonly recommended barrier ointments in Irish maternity hospitals and community pharmacies for newborn nappy care. Apply a thin layer at each nappy change after thorough cleaning and drying the skin.
Can adults use Ovelle Zinc & Castor Oil Ointment?
Yes. It is widely used by adults for pressure sore prevention, skin fold care and protection of areas prone to moisture and friction. It is particularly useful for older adults or those who are bedridden or have limited mobility.
Is Ovelle Zinc & Castor Oil Ointment available in Ireland?
