Not only good for babies, but also keeps chaffing to a minimum for adults, without the ‘burn’ of similar products. Review: Favorite powder - I really like the way this powder smells, it has a clean fresh smell. It lasts all day, even when it’s hot outside, like right now! It keeps me dry everywhere I apply it. I use it daily to my armpits after applying deodorant, and under my chest, and it works wonderfully compared to other brands. It’s great value for your money, it lasts a good two months or more with daily use, and doesn’t irritate my skin at all. It leaves my skin very smooth. ## Features - Caldesene Medicated Protecting Body Powder is talc-free and made with zinc oxide, aloe, and chamomile to pamper skin - Fresh scent baby powder forms a protective barrier to repel moisture and help keep skin dry when dealing with minor irritations and prickly heat - Ideal for the whole family, Caldesene seals out wetness to protect against chafed skin, shoe odor, and to dry the weeping of poison ivy, oak and sumac rash - 3-in-1 action that soothes, absorbs, and protects against diaper rash - Cornstarch powder with zinc oxide is a gentle powder free from dyes, parabens, and preservatives ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00IG0U8BC | | Active Ingredients | Cornstarch - 81 % (Skin Protectant), Zinc Oxide - 15 % (Skin Protectant) | | Best Sellers Rank | #170 in Baby ( See Top 100 in Baby ) #2 in Baby Powders | | Brand | Caldesene | | Brand Name | Caldesene | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 26,196 Reviews | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Volume | 5 fluid ounces | | Item Weight | 2.5 pounds | | Manufacturer | INSIGHT PHRM | | Manufacturer Part Number | PPAX1217235 | | Material Type Free | Talc Free | | Model Number | PPAX1217235 | | Number of Items | 5 | | Product Benefits | Soothing | | Recommended Uses For Product | Chafing | | Scent | Fresh | | Scent Name | Fresh | | Skin Type | All | | UPC | 363736363048 | | Unit Count | 25 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Caldesene - **Item Form:** Powder - **Product Benefits:** Soothing - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Chafing - **Skin Type:** All ## Images ![Caldesene Medicated Protecting Powder with Zinc Oxide & Cornstarch-Talc Free, 5 Ounce (5 Pack) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71U5GPCkEFL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it smell like baby powder?
