Baby Powder : What is it?

BabyPowder1

Baby powders protect a baby's skin from scratches and irritation. They also seal in moisture and absorb buildup from diapers to prevent diaper rash. They are usually applied on the baby's chest, back, and buttocks. Most baby powders are scented and have a smooth, fine consistency.

Kinds of Baby Powders include the following:

Talcum powders

  • Talcum powders are made from ground talc, a soft magnesium-based mineral.
  • They have a smooth, silky texture and feel light and natural on the skin.
  • Many experts advise against talcum powders because they can be harmful when inhaled.

Cornstarch powders


  • Cornstarch powders are made purely from cornstarch or a mixture of cornstarch and talc.
  • They are slightly coarser than talcum powders and are less white in color.
  • They are safer to use than talcum powders, but can cause irritation when used in large amounts.

Choosing Baby Powders (Buying Tips)

Texture: Choose a light baby powder that spreads smoothly over the body. Make sure there are no hard particles that can scratch or chafe the skin. Spread the powder thinly over the skin to keep it from gathering sweat.

Scents: Choose unscented baby powders to prevent skin irritation. Chemical scents can cause rashes and allergic reactions, and may not be suitable for everyday use.
