A new diaper rash spray treatment designed to help “soothe the irritated baby bottom” is doing double-duty helping the environment, using a low global-warming propellant from Honeywell. The new product, Dr. Smith’s Diaper Rash Spray from San Antonio-based therapeutic products company Mission Pharmacal Co., complements the company’s tried-and-true ointment, offering an environmentally friendly and effective alternative to the traditional topical method.

As Mission Pharmacal Director of Consumer Marketing Allan Avery explains, Dr. Smith’s Diaper Rash Spray is the only zinc oxide aerosol on the market. In selecting packaging for the new product, he says the company’s goal was to pick one of the most environmentally friendly propellants available on the market: “Honeywell Solstice was that propellant.”

“The propellant is one of the most environmentally preferable aerosol technologies available today,” Avery adds. “It is hydro-fluorocarbon free and is not a volatile organic compound.”
