Ulo clay: Top 10 benefits and uses

8. Treating diaper rash

Ulo clay was effective in treating diaper rash in one studyTrusted Source.

Around 93% of the infants who received the clay had improved rashes within 6 hours, with 90% completely healed in 3 days. Another studyTrusted Source had similar positive results.

How to use

Mix a small amount of ulo clay with water to make a paste and apply it directly to the rash.

Alternatively, mix the clay with shea butter, coconut oil, or zinc oxide cream. Do not shake the powder directly on to the baby’s skin, as they may inhale some of it.

Keep the mixture in a clean glass container with a plastic, silicone, or glass lid. Do not use metal lids, as the clay may adsorb some of the metal’s properties over time.

Always speak to a doctor before trying any new remedy in a baby or child.
