Pinxav, a new diaper rash ointment

Blog readers, I have discovered PINXAV, a new diaper cream that I l-o-v-e!  So, in typical Chaton fashion, I thought I'd share.

In the interest of full disclosure I "discovered it" because the company asked me to try it.  While PINXAV has been in business over 84 years they are new to the Pittsburgh market.  For that reason, they asked me to sample the product and to let you all know my thoughts. 

Initially, I was skeptical.  It had nothing to do with them.  The representative seemed thoughtful and professional.  Also, the website seemed legitimate.  However, I am an attorney and live in the world where things go wrong and products fail to work as promised.  Also, as you know, I am an overprotective mom. And as nice as the salesman seemed, I was not about to apply some unknown cream to my baby.  So, I did some research.

I took the cream with me to the dermatologist who read ingredients and was impressed.  She said that zinc oxide is the gold standard of diaper creams and PINXAV contained plenty of it.  She was impressed that it also contained Aloe and Vitamin E. She also opened the container felt it and smelled it.  She said that thought it was safe to try, but that I should monitor the baby's progress.

We were actually at the dermatologist for a follow up appointment about concerns in her diaper area.  So, it was perfect timing.  With her endorsement, we tried the product.

Here's the verdict: We have been using the product for about a month and have been very pleased.  It is effective, easy to use and smells great.  There was an initial visual adjustment though.  The product is pink and goopy.  Goopy is typical of diaper cream, but this is the only pink one I've seen.  So, it took a couple of days to get used to the color, but that was really no big deal.  It is a great product and I hope that it does well in this market.  Stay tuned to some ways to win some PINXAV to try yourself!
