Diaper Powders

Diaper powder helps absorb excess moisture, reducing friction and preventing diaper rash. It keeps your baby's skin dry, comfortable, and fresh, especially in Sri Lanka's humid climate. Many formulations also contain soothing ingredients to protect delicate skin.

When applied correctly and sparingly, most cornstarch-based or talc-free baby powders are considered safe for newborns. Always sprinkle powder onto your hand away from the baby's face, then gently pat onto the diaper area. Consult your pediatrician for specific advice, especially for very sensitive skin.

Talc-based powders use mineral talc, which is highly absorbent. Cornstarch-based powders, a popular alternative, use natural cornstarch and are often preferred by parents seeking talc-free options. Both aim to absorb moisture and reduce friction, but cornstarch is generally favored for its natural origin and minimal inhalation risk.

Diaper powder can be used during each diaper change, especially if your baby is prone to dampness or mild irritation. Ensure the skin is clean and completely dry before application. For severe rashes, it's best to consult a doctor, as powder might trap moisture in some cases, and a cream might be more suitable.
