Metanium

Metanium is a topical skin treatment formulated to soothe and treat diaper rash (nappy rash). Its active titanium ingredients form a protective barrier over the skin, shielding it from external irritants such as moisture, urine, and feces, while actively reducing inflammation and treating soreness.

Dosage by Body Weight

Apply topically. Clean and dry the affected area thoroughly before application. Spread a pea-sized amount thinly over the affected skin at each diaper change, gently patting instead of rubbing.
