What is talcum powder? How to use talcum powder

Talcum powder is actually an effective product that helps relieve and improve prickly heat in infants and young children. Its main ingredients are talcum powder, boric acid, magnesium carbonate and spices. However, be careful not to apply talcum powder on the inner thighs or vulva when using it.

In summer, after bathing or having a haircut, talcum powder can be sprinkled on the body or head to give people a comfortable and fragrant feeling. But for girls, it is best not to apply talcum powder on the inner thighs, vulva, lower abdomen, etc. Because the main raw material is talcum powder, generally speaking, women should try to use less baby powder, as well as prickly heat powder and scented powder made with talcum powder.

How to use

1. Be careful when applying talcum powder. First, pour the powder on your hands or powder puff away from the baby, and then carefully apply it on the baby's body to prevent the powder from flying around.

2. When using, sprinkle the baby's whole body gently (use a powder puff or gauze wrapped with cotton), especially key areas such as buttocks, armpits, leg hollows, under the neck, etc.

3. When applying powder, you need to open up the wrinkles and sprinkle it on your face. Do not use too much each time.

4. Avoid getting powder in eyes, ears and mouth.

5. After use, the lid should be closed immediately and stored properly, and infants and young children should not be allowed to play with it.

6. Avoid splashing in the air duct.

7. Avoid applying talcum powder to babies in front of older children to prevent them from imitating you.

8. Do not confuse talcum powder for babies (prickly heat powder can be used in summer) with that for adults. It is advisable to buy talcum powder specifically for children.
