Here's how to swap to non-toxic baby powder:
Baby powder is applied directly to delicate skin, often in sensitive areas and sometimes multiple times a day. Because babies have thinner skin and developing bodies, what goes into a powder matters more than you might expect.
Use the Welpr Personal Care and Cosmetic Scanner to take a picture of the ingredient label on your baby powder. The scanner will flag any ingredients that don't meet Welpr's standards.
If you're not ready to replace your baby powder right away, small changes in how you apply it can reduce what your baby breathes in and absorbs. Fine powders can become airborne easily, especially during diaper changes.
Look for powders with a short, simple ingredient list built around plant-based starches like cornstarch or arrowroot. The best options skip synthetic fragrance, talc, parabens, and artificial dyes entirely.
