Diaper rash can be handled with non-pharmacological treatment by giving olive oil and virgin coconut oil (VCO). Olive oil is a vegetable oil containing oleic acid containing reserves and tocopherol α which works as an antioxidant that counteracts free radicals while VCO is a vegetable oil containing lauric acid and tocopherol α which contains the same function as olive oil. Olive oil has the highest content of oleic acid and tocopherol α, namely extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). This research aimed to prove If there is a difference between the provision of EVOO with VCO to prevent mild or moderate diaper rash in infants aged 6-12 months.This study used a Quasi Experiment research design type pre-test and post-test design. Samples were selected based on inclusion criteria with the number of samples (n = 32). 16 babies receive EVOO and 16 babies therapy at VCO. Bivariate analysis using the Wilcoxon test. The results of the study showed the influence of giving EVOO showed a p-value of 0.011 and a negative rating of 4.00 while the contribution of giving VCO showed a p-value of 0,000 and a negative rating of 8.50.
