Moms are truly amazing. We’ve all heard the stories of women lifting cars off the ground to save children trapped beneath, dashing into burning buildings to carry their kids to safety, and fending off intruders in their homes. And let’s not forget the countless moms who work multiple jobs to put food on the table and clothes on their kids’ backs. The examples and types of mom heroism are nearly endless, including one mom who went to scientific lengths to help keep her baby alive and healthy.

Meet Majda Ficko. Majda’s first child, Demitri, was born with Cornelia de Lange, an extremely rare genetic disorder that impacts both physical and mental growth. Among other issues, Demitri is in diapers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, his entire life, that resulted in severe diaper rash that left this poor baby’s bum looking like ground burger meat. The hospital pharmacy had formulated a skin cream that worked quite well, but when the business closed, Majda and Demitri were out of luck.

No mom wants to see her baby suffer and Majda was determined to find a cream that worked as well as the one from the hospital. She tried cream after cream from every source she could find, only to realize that the perfumes, alcohols, and other chemicals are included in most formulas and were making her Demitri’s rash worse, not better.

So, what’s a desperate mom to do? Why, make her own, of course! And that’s just what Majda did. This determined mom found a research chemist to help her reformulate the hospital pharmacy’s cream to include nothing but all-natural ingredients.

Together they created a cream that not only soothed Demitri’s painful rash but also helped it heal, even while in a diaper. In fact, Demetri’s doctor was so impressed with the results of the cream that he encouraged her to make it available to other moms and babies. So, she did!

Majda went into the diaper rash business and manufactured her first batch of 100% natural, completely hypoallergenic diaper rash treatment, Baby Butz. Baby Butz cream is now considered the safest and most effective diaper rash treatment available without a prescription. In fact, it’s so effective that it is used in hospital neonatal units and pediatricians provide samples of the cream to new moms across North America.

Safe for babies from birth on up, Baby Butz is available in 2 and 4 oz containers at OlenCosmetics.com, BabyButz.com, and Amazon.com And don’t miss out on the exclusive 8 oz. container now available at Target!
