How to Pick The Right Baby Powder: 5 Things to Look For

Baby on the way? You must have already started stocking up on the essentials. So, how are you feeling about shopping for your little one? It must be exciting though. When you shop for any product, say a baby powder, make sure to pick a natural ingredients-based product for your baby. Looking for one? Meet AreoVeda’s Baby Dusting Powder. It helps absorb sweat and moisture while also fighting germs.

Let’s look at the factors that you need to consider while choosing a baby powder for your little one.

What Is A Baby Powder?

It’s a skincare product for babies that works by absorbing sweat and moisture from their skin. There have been studies that state these talcum powders have talc and can lead to various types of cancers. Talc has asbestos (a substance that could lead to ovarian cancer or lung cancer if inhaled). Owing to all this, there has been an uproar about the same in the skincare industry and now the brands have come up with their talc-free versions, known as dusting powders.

The Shift To Talc-free

These powders are equally effective and perform the same function of sweat absorption. It’s just they don’t have a cancer-causing substance called talc and pose no harm to the skin. But the question remains the same- Are they safe to apply on the baby’s sensitive skin? Let’s find out!

Tips For Choosing The Right Baby Powder For Your Baby’s Skin

1. Look for The Ingredients

As a buyer, we barely flip the bottle and read all the ingredients of the product. Since it’s about your baby, we suggest you go into detail and have a closer look at their ingredient list. Avoid baby powders that have talc in them (they are not safe for your little ones). Make sure it has natural ingredients such as almond oil, oats, milk proteins, etc., that protect the skin barrier and maintain pH levels.

2. What’s The Purpose?

The next important step is to determine the exact reason for buying a baby dusting powder. It could be due to several reasons like your baby’s skin has rashes, possibly sweats too much, or has excessive moisture. However, if you look properly, you may find one single product that checks off all these problems in one go!

3. Feel The Texture

It’s very important to feel the base of the product. Baby powders must be soft and light when touched and not coarse! This helps in easy application and feels pleasant too. If its particles are not soft enough, it may harm the baby’s sensitive skin. While applying, the baby powder must glide smoothly on the baby’s skin.

4. Go For Reliable Brands

Picking a reputed brand or a company is again an important aspect. There are many brands these days that deep dive into the details and perform cellular tests before bringing any product to market. Such brands are safe and reliable as they have scientific research backing up all claims.

5. Read Labels

When selecting a baby powder, it’s essential to check for certifications that ensure the product meets rigorous safety and environmental standards. You can look for certifications such as Ecocert-certified, EWG-verified, cruelty-free, hypoallergenic and others. By scrutinising labels and seeking certifications, you can ensure the baby powder you choose is safe, effective, and gentle on your baby’s skin.

Which Baby Powder Is Best For Babies?
