Last week, Gwen developed rashes on her bum. Since she was born, she never had skin problems like this because her skin is not that sensitive. I don’t know what happened to her skin, but maybe it’s because of the meds she was taking last week because of her cough (antibiotics + cough syrup) that made her urine react to her bum’s skin. Aside from applying Drapolene every nappy change, I also applied Johnson’s baby powder.
While I was shopping at Sesou in Trinoma for Gwen’s insect repellant spray, I got curious with Mommy Patch Body Dusting Powder, it’s talc-free and paraben-free.
Mommy Patch Body Dusting Power in Dark Vanilla, Php 280
I read that rice powder is very safe and is good in absorbing moisture so I gave it a try. Aside from it being paraben-free, I also liked the Dark Vanilla scent, I’m crazy about everything-vanilla so even if the sales staff recommended the Enchanting Lullaby as the best one for babies and kids, I went on buying the Dark Vanilla :p.
Compared with ordinary baby powder, rice powder has coarser texture. But I noticed that it really has good absorption and does not clump together unlike ordinary powder. The yaya even used it on Gwen’s back to keep her cool.
The Dark Vanilla scent is quite strong for kids though, I know… I should have listened to the staff. But this product s great for kids and adults alike who are allergic to talc but needs the benefits of a body powder.
Gwen’s rashes is slowly disappearing, thanks to the help of gentle and natural baby products like this. A friend advised me to use a gentler baby soap like Bare Naturals Baby my Baby bar soap to speed up the healing of the rashes. Sesou doesn’t have Bare Naturals but good thing Zalora carries them.
Visit Sesou stores (there’s one in Trinoma and Alabang Town Center) or check out Mommy Patch’s Facebook page.
I would love to try this out for my little one. Thanks for sharing. Will definitely look out for this during our next trip to ATC.
I tried rice powder before with my daughter, medyo coarse nga. But I have to agree on the absorption, ang galing. Plus factor ang paraben free. That would be first on my list since my daughter has mild skin asthma. I think this product is worth a try.
hmm mukhang baga to sa mudrabelles ko.. dami rashes nun eh lalo na pag mainit hehe
my son also has rashes on his bum. i am using Calmoseptine cream. I want to try this Mommy Patch dusting powder so that his rashes will heal faster.
I’m glad my daughter doesn’t get rashes like this glad you found this product for your kiddo
I am glad that there products like this kasi we have choices on what to use and apply to our kids skin.
Ykaie doesn’t get rashes anymore but i will give that powder a try.
I’ll recommend this to my sister because my niece has nappy rashes.
