A standard 4-ounce tube of zinc oxide paste costs between $0.80 and $1.40 to manufacture. Desitin Maximum Strength retails at $12. That gap is not funding a better formula. It is funding Kenvue Inc.'s television advertising budget, retail slotting fees that guarantee eye-level grocery placement, and the overhead of a conglomerate managing this product as a portfolio line item — not a pediatric safety product. Items covered: Up & Up Diaper Rash Ointment, Baby Magic Diaper Rash Cream, Parent's Choice Maximum Strength Paste, Boudreaux's Butt Paste, Balmex Complete Protection Cream, A+D Original Diaper Rash Ointment, Desitin Maximum Strength Paste #babycare #babyproduct ##babycream
