Tubby Todd's All Over Ointment is a thick balm formulated for infant eczema and general dry patches, sold here as a multipack. The formula leans on a short list rather than a long one: colloidal oatmeal, shea, and a blend of oils, without steroids, fragrance, or the petrolatum base that a lot of baby ointments use. Texture is genuinely thick, closer to a salve than a lotion, which is what lets it stay put on cheeks and elbow creases overnight. Because there is no active steroid, it works as a daily barrier and moisture layer rather than a flare treatment, so it complements rather than replaces whatever a pediatrician prescribes. Adults use it on hands and cuticles too. Best fit: infant eczema, cradle cap, drool rash, and dry patches on sensitive skin.
Pros

- No steroids, fragrance, or petrolatum, so it works for daily use
- Colloidal oatmeal is a genuinely evidence-supported eczema ingredient
- Multipack format means one stays in the diaper bag and one at the changing table
Cons
- Because there is no active steroid, it manages dryness but will not shut down an active flare on its own
Frequently asked questions
Does it contain steroids?
No. It is a steroid-free barrier balm built around colloidal oatmeal and oils. That makes it safe for daily use but means it will not stop an active flare the way a prescribed steroid cream does.
Can it be used on a newborn?
Parents commonly use it from early infancy, but every pediatrician has a preference about what goes on newborn skin. Ask yours before starting anything, especially on the face.
Is it greasy?
It is a thick salve, so it does feel occlusive going on. It sinks in over a few minutes but leaves a barrier layer, which is the point.
Will it work for cradle cap?
Many parents use it that way, massaging it into the scalp and letting it sit before a gentle wash. It softens flakes rather than treating an underlying cause.
Can adults use it?
Yes. It is a common crossover for adult hand eczema, cracked cuticles, and winter dry patches.
