Directions for Use

For optimal results and to ensure your baby’s safety, follow these application steps:

 

  1. Cleanse the Area: Ensure the baby's skin (especially the diaper area and skin folds) is completely clean and patted dry.
  2. Dispense Away from Baby: Shake a small amount of the Himalaya gentle powder for infants into the palm of your hand. Keep the bottle away from the baby's face to prevent inhalation.
  3. Rub Hands Together: Briefly rub your hands together to evenly distribute the powder.
  4. Apply Gently: Smooth the powder lightly over the baby's skin, focusing on areas prone to sweating and friction, such as the neck folds, armpits, and diaper area.
  5. Close Tightly: Twist the cap completely shut after use and store it safely.
  • Frequency: Can be used daily after bathing and during diaper changes.
  • Pro Tip: Never sprinkle powder directly onto the baby's body. Always apply it to your hands first to minimise airborne particles and protect your baby's respiratory tract.

Key Benefits

  • Superior Moisture Absorption for Dry Skin: The micro-milled powder effectively absorbs moisture from sweat and dampness, keeping the skin's microclimate dry. This reduces friction in skin folds, a primary cause of pediatric intertrigo.
  • Effective Diaper Rash Prevention: Fortified with Yashada Bhasma (Natural Zinc), it creates a protective, antimicrobial barrier over delicate baby skin. This accelerates wound healing and prevents the onset of painful diaper erythema (rashes).
  • Nourishes and Softens Epidermal Layers: Unlike harsh powders that strip natural oils, the infusion of Olive Oil provides Vitamin E, softening the skin and maintaining the integrity of the newborn's developing skin barrier.
  • Cools the Skin and Prevents Body Odour: Khus Grass (Vetiver) acts as a natural astringent and cooling agent. It gently brings down the local skin temperature during hot weather and naturally prevents body odour without synthetic fragrances.
  • Soothes Minor Irritations and Redness: Almond oil, rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins A and E, acts as a mild emollient. It calms minor chafing, redness, and inflammation caused by tight clothing or diapers.
  • Supports Safe, Everyday Herbal Baby Care: Designed as a cornerstone among herbal baby care products, it delivers potent botanical benefits without exposing infants to harsh synthetic chemicals, ensuring long-term dermatological health.
