Our read on it
If you are going to use a powder, this is the specification to look for: talc-free. The manufacturer itself stopped selling talc-based powder worldwide and switched to cornstarch, and that alone says a great deal. One point in fairness: powder is not the recommended tool for nappy rash, since a barrier cream is what actually protects the skin while powder only absorbs moisture. Read the safety note in full before using it.
Pros
- Talc-free, which is the specification that matters in a baby powder
- The cheapest of the powder options here
- Plant-based ingredients
- Absorbs moisture in skin folds
Cons
- Does not stop rash, it only soaks up moisture
- Fine enough for a baby to breathe in
Important safety information
The most important thing about this product: fine powder particles can be inhaled by a baby and cause breathing problems, which is why avoiding powder on infants and relying on a barrier cream instead is the general advice. If you do use it, never shake it over the baby or near their face: put a small amount in your hand away from them and then smooth it onto the skin. Keep the bottle completely out of children's reach and never let a child hold or play with it. Avoid the genital area.
