Cuticura Mildly Medicated Talc 250g by Cuticura

For years I used another type of medicated talcum powder to deal with summertime itchy rashes, and to prevent yeast infections under the bra, etc. But because people used talcum powder internally (labeled not for internal use), US makers switched to corn starch to avoid lawsuits. Corn starch does not form a moisture barrier as talc does, and is also food for yeast. Corn starch in fact can cause a mild yeast infection of the skin to spread and become a serious yeast infection.Cuticura is made from talc, and medicated with zinc oxide. It has a not-perfumey fragrance (not floral, more herbal) that dissipates quickly (which is good, so it doesn't compete with the fragrances I want to wear). Its texture is smooth, not gritty. I apply using a big powder puff. I see it's recommended for those with eczema and that's good news for my husband. He'll be using it too.I'll be using Cuticura regularly through the summer. I hope it stays around so I can buy a new supply next summer.

Though I don't much care for the fragrance, this powder is great for my needs, which is as a foot powder. So much better than the corn starch based garbage, which cakes up.

I am very happy with this powder. It's made from impossible-to-find-in-the-US talc and zinc oxide so it does the job it's intended to do. And it doesn't feed skin bacteria and fungi the way that terrible corn starch does. A little goes a long way and it lasts until it gets washed off. The scent is mildly herbal and all together pleasant -- it doesn't leave me smelling like a baby or an elderly woman. Free delivery from the UK took about a week. Three cheers for Cuticura!

I had to find another medicated powder after not being able to find J&J's medicated powder (found has been discontinued.) The first purchase I made was another brand that contained corn starch, which I found promoted fungal and bacterial growth, so it was practically useless. Threw it out and ordered Cuticura's product. It's so much better, even the scent is better. Does what it needs to do and I'm glad I ordered an extra.

This is a good product unless you're afraid of talc. I spent years avoiding talc, but I'm in my 70s now and I'm more concerned with comfort and decent quality items. I don't create clouds of powder and then inhale deeply and I'm careful where excess powder falls. Talc seems to give me the best results and I've tried many products, so comparison and contrast are clear to me. The ingredients of Cuticura are useful for me.I recommend this. The price was fine, the shipping was without damage.

Best talc on market. Fixed a heat rash I had that no other talc (talc not the dreaded cornstarch) did. So have been buying it from here for years, and also pick it up when I’m in England. Now, it cheaper to buy from Amazon.uk - even with shipping it’s significantly less expensive.

I've been using Cuticura Talc since I began to travel to the UK. It is not readily available in the US, but worth looking for. There is no corn starch in this powder which is a big plus to me and it has no overwhelming fragrance. I love it especially in Summer. I've purchased from this vendor several times and have been very pleased.
