The Best Baby Powders for Gentle Skin Care

Baby powders aren’t rocket science—until you factor in talc lawsuits, inhalation scares, and endless ingredient policing. Winners nail a talc-free, cornstarch-rich formula that soaks up moisture, boasts hypoallergenic credentials and a nostalgic baby scent, and tucks neatly into your diaper bag or gym kit. Organic, plant-based blends with Aloe, chamomile or vitamin E and dermatologist testing earn community applause. Losers? Those haunted by asbestos lawsuits, chemical additives or AAP warnings, along with powders that cake up, overdry skin or smack of corporate cut-corners. Beware inhalation risks and brands under Reddit’s microscope for safety missteps.
