Questions about Nappy Rash Cream for Allergy sufferers and USDA testing

Back to Nappy Rash page

I would like to know if your products have been tested by the USDA and if
it's safe. 

Also I would like to know if you have any products to clear of dark blemishes 
for legs and arms.

I do plan to try the breast rash products, however, I would like some
feedback regarding the USDA testing and the safety of the product because
I am allergic to every natural thing (ie trees, molds, shrubbery,)

Hi,

None of our products have been USDA tested for reasons explained below, but they DO COMPLY with the USDA regulations as to what substances they contain. So they comply with USDA regulations to be marketed as over-the -counter products in the USA. In fact they are able to be marketed in any country of the world as we take great care with this.

Our business is a Compounding Pharmacy which I believe is a common thing in the USA, but where we have taken a step further is to work with clients who have had specific problems and refine those formulas to address those problems giving maximum benefit. We make small batches of tailor made products rather than being big manufacturers. However our products have achieved a very good reputation world-wide.

We currently have a Nappy rash cream we make in large amounts registered with the TGA, The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA Australia) is the Australian equivalent of the FDA , I have attached a snapshot of our entry (AUSTR 54249) on the site :-
Our Nappy Rash registration with Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA Australia)
plus a link for you from their site about buying medicines over the internet: http://www.tga.gov.au/docs/html/whointer.htm

That's why we have a money back guarantee, not only do the products work, we will refund your total cost in full including postage if you are not satisfied.

In the case of our Breast Rash cream, we found there simply wasn't a product available that was any good!

The formula contains the following ingredients :-

Zinc Oxide
Lanolin
Oleic acid (from olives)
Calcium hydroxide
and boric acid.

You would find the product works rapidly and very successfully.

Even if all seems fine, I would apply a small amount as a patch test on your fore-arm over night before commencing to use it. If there is no reaction, simply apply it each day to the rash under your breasts for a very quite cure.

I can understand your caution given you past history of reactions and would advise you first patch test any new product you try.

Kind Regards,
David Hosking.

QUESTION: About Peanut Allergy

I just rang your pharmacy asking whether the Hypoallergy cream contains any Tree nut oils and the lady I spoke to was very helpful but was only confident in saying she is 99% sure there is not nut oils in the products and I wanted to confirm before purchasing if there is.

My 14 month old daughter has always had excema and since starting on solids around 6 months of age and as her diet has increased in variety in seems to be becoming worse. More so recently she is developing patches all over not just behind her knees, top of her feet and in her elbows as it was initially. We are aware that she has food allergies to Cashews, Hazelnuts, Peanuts & I think Peacans. I am looking for an alternative to the cortisone creams the doctors prescribe.

Currently I am bathing her in Dermaveen Bath Oil and using the Royal Children’s Hosp Dermeze cream but not seeing a great improvement.

ANSWER: About Peanut Allergy

None of our products have any type of nut oil in them as allergies are a big problem as you have found. I would suggest you try our Hypoallergenic face and body balm which is similar to dermese in protection but contains the safe antiseptic chlorhexidine used in mouthwashes and in hospitals.

Since the skin's natural protective barrier is damaged, inflammation occurs in response to the normal bacteria on the skin as well as to increase blood flow to the skin to assist healing.

We have often had good results with eczema where dermese is not giving much improvement. Application is simple and the balm may be applied anywhere on the face and body. Apply 3-4 times a day leaving enough on the skin to leave a protective layer. Should the shine wear off reapply. For the facial area apply more thickly at night for night long protection.

It is non-toxic so can be applied liberally to the cheeks or around the mouth if needed. You will also find it makes your hands softer too

FDA Policy for Selling over-the-counter Medical Products in the USA and Australia

The USA FDA is very strict on the sale of medical products and unless you are a big company with a huge prospective market it is not worthwhile.

In Australia, assuming you are registered as a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility or a compounding pharmacy the paperwork and whole process is very complicated. You first have to register yourself as a sponsor of a product, fill in the necessary paperwork and pay the necessary fees. Then for each product you have to register it, pay an annual registration fee for each product and submit your accountants certified statement of sales each year
