Mompreneur Carman Campbell found that necessity truly is the mother of invention when she wanted nothing more than to have a free hand and a clean hand when applying diaper rash cream while changing her squirmy baby’s diaper. She was inspired to create Swabbies, a single-use herbal cream that’s administered with a single hand and no mess. The applicator’s patented design allows the cream to be easily dispensed with one hand, while the other hand remains free to tend to an otherwise wiggly baby. Unlike other diaper rash solutions, there’s no need for anyone to get gooey cream on their hands—simply use one hand to break the seal; then gently squeeze the tube until the cream reaches the top of the sponge and liberally apply to the diaper rash area. Swabbies’ uniquely formulated organic diaper rash cream includes grape seed oil, beeswax, olive oil, shea butter, lavender, and tea tree oil. Swabbies also contain 40% zinc oxide to promote rapid results, and are free of parabens, BPA phthalates, mineral oil and latex. Campbell’s mission is to create safe, beneficial and effective baby care products that are easier and safer for busy parents and caregivers. Not only do Swabbies achieve this mission, but they can also help to prevent common Staph strains from spreading.
