Abstract
Baby powders have been used safely for over 100years by both adults and infants. Talcum powder plays a useful role in infant skin care owing to its lubricant properties which help to prevent chafing of delicate skin by clothing . By absorbing excess moisture in the skin folds, powders reduce the likelihood of skin rashes caused by bacterial and fungal infections.
