Our Prickly Heat Powders

Prickly heat powder, also known as heat rash powder or cooling powder, is designed to provide relief from prickly heat, a common skin condition caused by sweat becoming trapped in the sweat glands due to hot and humid weather. This condition can lead to itching, redness, and discomfort. Prickly heat powders typically contain ingredients like talc, which helps absorb excess moisture and soothe irritated skin. They often include cooling agents such as menthol or camphor, which provide a refreshing sensation and help alleviate itching. Some formulations also incorporate antibacterial ingredients to prevent infections in the affected areas. Prickly heat powders are applied directly to affected areas of the skin and are especially popular in tropical regions during the summer months to keep skin cool and comfortable.

How to Use

Clean and Dry Skin: Ensure the affected area is clean and thoroughly dry before applying the powder.

Application: Sprinkle a moderate amount of prickly heat powder directly onto the affected skin. Use enough to cover the area evenly without overapplying.

Gentle Massage: Optionally, gently massage the powder into the skin using clean hands or a soft cloth. This helps distribute the powder evenly and promotes absorption.

r

Avoid Rubbing: Do not rub the powder vigorously into the skin, as this can irritate the already sensitive areas

Reapply as Needed: Depending on the severity of symptoms and your comfort level, you may need to reapply the powder throughout the day, especially in hot and humid conditions

Clothing: Allow the powder to settle on the skin for a few minutes before dressing to avoid rubbing it off.

Caution: Avoid applying prickly heat powder to broken or irritated skin. If irritation occurs or symptoms worsen, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
