Rating of the best baby powders for 2020

After birth, the baby from the aquatic environment enters the air. The skin of a newborn is under stress and external factors that do not always have a beneficial effect on it. To make the adaptation painless and comfortable, parents use special cosmetics intended for crumbs: shampoos and gels without tears, aromatic oils, powders and creams. Let's talk about powders, their advantages, disadvantages and make a rating of the most bought products in 2020.

Types of baby powder

There are two types of products on the market today: dry powder and liquid talc. The difference is that dry powder is considered an excellent antiseptic, combats friction between the diaper and the skin, cools and reduces inflammation on the baby's skin. The liquid agent forms a protective film on the skin, which protects against irritation and diaper rash, prevents talcum powder from getting into the skin folds. Moisture is absorbed on the skin, softens it and prevents the elements of inflammation.

Criteria for choosing baby powder

A quality product is determined by several factors:

• the product must contain only natural substances, without additives (or with herbal additives)., the main components must be mineral talc, zinc oxide, starches from corn, potatoes or rice;
• the powder should be hypoallergenic for the health of the baby;
• the packaging must contain information about the manufacturer, date of manufacture, expiration date and composition of the drug. When letters or numbers are blurred, worn out, not visible, it is better to choose another bottle with a clear information content;
• if the goods were transported and stored correctly, the packaging should be tightly closed, not punctured or wrinkled, without mechanical damage;
• a strong smell of the powder indicates a high content of aromatic fragrances that can cause allergies or headaches in an infant. Better when there is no smell at all.

How to use powder correctly

Talc is used to treat baby's delicate skin after taking a bath or when changing a diaper. In any case, the skin must be cleansed and hydrated.

The order is as follows:

Shake the bottle, sprinkle some talcum powder on the palm of your hand. At the same time, keep your hand away from your face, your own and the newborn. Apply the product to the child's skin. Close the package tightly and store in a cool dry place.
