Parenting thing! Putting this here because it was a bear for me to find baby stuff that does not contain Aloe Barbadensis.
Brad gets a severe, burning rash when his skin is exposed to Aloe, and it’s in almost everything you put on or near a baby’s skin. As of December 2015, these are the brands we use that currently do not contain Aloe. If you have some to add to this list, please let us know in comments.
Huggies Little Snugglers Diapers If you’re just realizing your kiddo might have a reaction to Aloe because rash creams are making things worse, and so forth, Huggies Little Movers
also don’t contain Aloe.
Pampers Softcare Baby Fresh Wipes don’t currently contain Aloe. But! Their “Sensitive” wipes do. This is true of nearly all brands marked “sensitive” or “natural.”
Boudreaux’s Butt Paste has no Aloe, and it’s terrific.
Anyway, apparently it’s not a common allergy, but if your kid has a rash that won’t go away, even if you’re blow drying his or her bum between diaper changes, this might be something to try.



Triple Paste also does not contain aloe. I know a lot of people love the Butt Paste, but for us it was the Triple Paste that saved the day. The only cream that would soothe a red bottom!

Babyganics wipes do not have aloe and they have a 1 EWG rating (if you care). Find it at Target or on Amazon.

Well CLOTH DIAPERS don’t have aloe in them. Kidding, kidding. I like Honest diapers and they don’t have aloe either (plus no characters/cuter designs).

Thanks you guys! I didn’t know about the Babyganics, and I’m shocked to hear about the Honest diapers. They have aloe in nearly all of their products, and I thought for sure I’d checked to see the ingredients, but you are right! We may actually switch to both those brands. Hooray! Thanks again.

Aquaphor or generic version has always been the best for any skin ailments for us- instead of diaper cream.

Pro Tip: Boudreaux’s Butt Paste is also good for chafed testicles. (OR SO I’VE HEARD). We keep it around way beyond what we need for general baby bum issues. Keep it on all kinds of burns and things to minimise scarring. Trust me.
Also, an aloe allergy is proof that there’s no god.

I’ve been using Waxelene for everything including diaper rash and dry spots on my son’s skin during the winter. I also use it on myself and my husband too. No aloe!
