Description
Cuticura Original Body Powder 250 g is a mildly medicated, talcum-free body powder formulated to help absorb excess moisture, soothe dry and irritated skin, and protect against friction and chafing. Its light, finely milled texture ensures a comfortable feel on the skin without clogging pores, making it suitable for daily personal hygiene and skin comfort routines.
The formula combines zinc oxide, a naturally calming mineral, with allantoin, known for its skin-conditioning and soothing properties. Together they help reduce itching associated with moisture-related irritation and support the skin’s natural barrier. This body powder is dermatologically tested and gentle enough for dry, sensitive or eczema-prone skin.
Key Benefits:
• Helps absorb moisture and sweat, keeping skin dry and comfortable.
• Zinc oxide soothes and calms irritated or itchy skin.

• Dermatologically approved for sensitive skin types.
