This is another one of those staple products in our household. We first discovered Ungvita when my midwife recommended it for nappy rash, which cleared it up in no time.
Since then we use this for pretty much everything - cuts, grazes, eczema, nappy rash, chapped lips....the list is endless.
The biggest drawback of the ointment is that it has a really pungent smell - it's not offensive, but it is really strong. Once you get past that though, it's absolutely fine. It has an unusual sort of thick, jelly like consistency which spreads really easily as it warms on the skin.
I am very hesitant in trying new products on my 2 year old daughters sensitive skin. For a long time we had been using a similar product to Ungvita that was much more expensive. One day I decided to bite the bullet and give it a go! Thank goodness I did. Not only was it more affordable than the other leading brand product I had been using but the results worked much faster! Our daughter suffers severely from awful nappy rash regularly. We have to be very careful about what products go onto her skin. The first time we purchased Ungvita her skin was almost red raw, that night after her bath we applied the ointment before bed and in the morning.... Nothing, all of the redness was gone! It was amazing. Never had any product prior to this worked so well and so quickly. The only thing that had me a little concerned was when I first opened the tube - the smell - I thought we had bought an "off" or "bad batch" however its just the way the product is. Its a very odd, unpleasant smell, in my opinion anyway. Every Mother of a small child or infant should give this fantastic product a go. Not only is it incredibly affordable, its available Everywhere! We buy ours from almost any super market, the only one we have found that does not have it is Countdown. And did I mention it works wonders?! Love Ungvita and will never go a day without it ever again xx
Tips: Available at almost every super market from $7-11. *Except Countdown.
