Johnson's Baby Powder, Silky Soft Skin, 9-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 6)

Yes, it's good for babies and there's little doubt that J&J expected to be primarily used to treat babies' diaper rashes and to help babies feel fresh and comfortable. It just happens that it's equally good for grownups. Grownups too want to feel fresh and comfortable and Baby Powder can address that need.

This is a great deal for baby powder! I was thinking about buying the larger sizes, but the smaller ones are much easier to put in several diaper bags. The only thing I didn't like was that the bottles were a bit dirty. From shipping or sitting in the warehouse too long?

While this has been used for generations and has a proven track record, there are alternatives.

Cornstarch provides the same helpful properties in re rashes and being gentle to your skin. It also does not have a foul odor and talcum powder is, to me a very foul odor.

If this product were created WITHOUT the smell, then it would be a good thing all around.
