Snake Brand Prickly Heat Cooling Powder for Everyday Use - Anti-Chafing, Heat Rash Relief, Absorbs Sweat, Classic Original Scent (4.9 Oz / 140g)

I've used this since childhood and I'm middle aged now. It has always worked and still works amazing if your someone like me that gets those annoying heat rash itchy bumps from heat and sun. It feels cooling on the skin and relief is pretty much immediate. Depending on how much it itches, you can decide to put more or less. It will leave a little bit if a ashy cast if you have darker skin because of the talc but hey...who cares if you are feeling better? Even the container is the same as it was when I used it almost 40 years ago. Some folks may find it hard to get the powder out as it doesn't flow smoothly like the Johnson baby powders but you just have to be a little careful in flipping the can upside down right over your skin. Try not to get it on darker clothes though as it also doesn't dust off as easily as baby powder (with good reason cause it has to stay on skin for relief)

This stuff is great. I live in a warm, humid climate, and I love this powder. Do not, I repeat, do not use it in your crotch-- instead of cooling that area, it will burn. Seriously.Great for neck and back, underarms and underboobs, belly and thighs. Smells nice too.

I get wicked itchy arms in the summer heat. I've tried just about everything to easy the irritation but nothing ever seems to work. I gave this a try and although not a complete success, it wasn't a failure either. The cooling powder did bring a measure of relief and I was thankful for that. Not a fan of the smell!

My niece lived in Thailand and told me about this wonderful powder for hot, sticky skin. I've been using it ever since and telling others about it. I love the feel (tingly) and the scent (invigorating). If you have a pool of sweat collecting in your bra, this is a good antidote.

Excellent product for heat rash..

As stated in the title, this is a rave review for Snake Brand Prickly Heat Powder from Thailand. For the past few years I have suffered from heat rash on my chest and shoulders when doing hard work in warm weather. In the past I have gotten fair results with Benedryl pray. This year when the mercury hit 80° and I was working on remodeling my house I got a terrible rash from shoulder-to-shoulder across my chest and upper back and spreading onto my neck. Nothing was working, even the Mayo Clinic-recommended anhydrous lanolin. After I read the reviews on this powder I ordered it in slight hope it would do something.The cooling sensation of the first application was delightful. It felt like something was happening. Within a day the redness began to go and after two days the blisters started to disappear. After a week of twice-daily application there was just a hint of roughness on my shoulders. After three weeks there is no sign of rash or bumps, even though I am still working on the house daily in 90° temps with a lot of sweating. A small application to the nether regions has also eliminated the usual use of Clotrimazole anti-fungal for the occasional jock itch. I couldn't be happier with a product than I am with this one.For those wondering, the ingredients listed on the label are: Talc, Kaolin, Camphor 1.4% w/w, Menthol 0.8% w/w, Perfume, Triclocarban 0.2% w/w. No doubt the camphor and menthol are what cause the cool, tingly feeling that lasts for as long as an hour after application.I think this 150 gram tin will last me for the rest of the year, but I plan to stock up just in case. And for those who care, I've been told the can is quite attractive sitting on the shelf in my bathroom.One additional comment: After posting this review I went to the product page to add more to my wish list. When I purchased this item three weeks ago it was available fro Amazon Prime, but that no longer appears to be the case.

This powder works. Cured my heat rash first day of use. No strong odor like gold bond.Very cooling and refreshing.Glad I tried this stuff out.
