Skin powders for infants are gentle, finely milled powders designed to protect delicate baby skin by absorbing excess moisture, preventing rashes, and reducing friction in skin folds. These powders are specially formulated to be non-toxic, non-irritant, and free from harmful chemicals, making them safe for daily use.

Types of Infant Skin Powder:

1. Type 1 – Talc-Based Powder:
   Made primarily from purified talc, offering smooth texture and excellent absorbency. Most commonly used and conforms to IS 5399 specifications.

2. Type 2 – Non-Talc (Alternative) Powders:
   Formulated using alternatives like cornstarch, zinc oxide, or kaolin for parents who prefer talc-free options. These are often marketed as natural or herbal powders.

Both types are formulated to maintain skin dryness, soothe irritation, and provide a cooling effect, essential for infant comfort and hygiene.
