Curash Anti-Rash Baby Powder

Alert contains talc – I was misled by the packaging into thinking this product is safe and free of talc. But on the website I have found this is not the case. I will never buy this product again.

Good powder for both baby and adults – We use this one along with the other popular brand on childs bottom, neck, underarm, chest, back and behind the knee crease in summer to avoid heat rash. Also use on my underarms, under breast to prevent sweat assnd of course for a little baby scent :) The consistency is not smooth, has little clumps but you can smooth it out on the area. Smells amazing. Would highly recomment this. Thank you.

This is magic – Absolutely love this product, was recommended by a family member as my son would suffer from a red neck from birth and after every bath I'd apply a tiny bit of powder to his neck and it'd stop it from chaffing and looking red roar. My son is no longer scratching at his neck so I am honestly happy that I found this product

Curash Anti-Rash Powder (Blue Container) – I have researched this product myself & the active ingredient is Zinc Oxide. I make my own powder and my recipe is 25% Zinc Oxide and 75%Cornstarch, which works out cheaper to buy. I don't believe there is "talc" in the Curash product you buy at the Supermarket in Australia. I have NOT researched Curash Baby Powder, so I don't know if there is "talc" in that.

Misleading packaging! Do not purchase! – Curash are being purposefully deceptive by stating "with cornstarch and zinc" on the packaging but on the website the full ingredients are listed - there is more talc than cornstarch! Talc is a carcinogen! This is not a cheap product. I would have expected better. Customers (and their babies!) deserve so much better! Will never purchase again and I will return the product tomorrow and tell the chemist exactly why.

Contains Talc - No Ingredients Listing – I bought this as it was labelled "with cornstarch" which I stupidly assumed replaced the talc component. I then googled the ingredients as there was no ingredients list on the bottle. As with a previous reviewer mentioning the carcinogenic effects of talc (I had read an article about the lawsuit with JJ recently) I think Curash should list the… Read more

talc ingredient (and weight) so the consumer can make a considered purchase. Especially as this product will be applied to a baby's genital regions. I don't want to be a scaremongerer too - but just in the interests of making an informed and educated choice I think it is misleading of Curash to no include ingredients on its bottle.

about average – I used to use curash for my chafing in my legs which ended up being a big rash / the curash products work well though they are more expensive than the cheaper brands though they are better than most of them / I switched to johnsons and Johnsons baby powder to put on my legs when I get sore skin / it's still an alright product though the colour of the bottle of curash baby powder has been changed from white to blue

should be every mumma's bff – Hands down to this product, my bubba is no longer having bad nappy rashes! I have tried a lot of same products and none of them worked out. However this one is a game-changer, it doesn't cling to the baby's nappy unlike the other products I have tried. Show details

Love This Product – I was first given a bottle of curash baby powder when my son was first born and he is now 3 and a half. I would use a very very small amount of this product after most baths at bedtimes (or last nappy for the night) from when he was just a couple of month old up until he was toilet trained and was out of nappys. He never really got any nappy rash… Read more

at all. One time he had a very bad rash from a swimmer nappy after playing in and out of water on an afternoon but after applying that same night it had cleared up by morning. My daughter on the other hand who is now 13 months has sensitive skin and has had the start of nappy rash a few times but after applying powder it just clears up. It is non messy, no strong smell and a good price for the result. Highly recommend this product!!!

Reccomended for piano and keyboard players – Perspiration on fingertips makes for sticky keys which results in sluggish playing...try this compound, I have had good results with it. Have tried many other compounds over the years, this is the best so far.  Show reply

Curash Baby Powder has Talcum in it – I am wondering if all those who rated this product excellent are aware that Curash Baby Powder with cornstarch actually contains More Talcum than it does cornstarch. I don't believe in "scaremongering" but research suggests talcum is a dangerous carcinogen, similar to asbestos. This is worrisome,, but what's even worse is Curash have… Read more

neglected to list the ingredients on the bottle packaging (but have listed the ingredients on their website).

You can see for yourself:

Very sneaky of Curash to do this. Not listing ingredients on the package but doing so on the website are not the same thing! On top of this they have the nerve to display on the front of their bottles, "zinc oxide" & "pure cornstarch". While this might be true because these two ingredients are in the powder, personally I find it misleading. Anyone who would see that would most likely assume these might be the only 2 ingredients in it, & significantly wouldn't even think it has talc in it, especially since no full list of ingredients are listed. As a result they would purchase it, not knowing they are risking rubbing potential poison on their sensitive & precious baby's bottom.

I'm not sure I believe all the research articles concerning talcum & its' links to carcinogens (afterall as parents in this modern age it seems everything out there has 'links to or causes cancer'), but personally I wouldn't want to risk using any product containing talc on my baby. What's important is I think we have an individual right to make that choice by weighing the risks ourselves.

So as a consummer, we can't make that decision if a company like Curash has neglected to display ingredients of their' products on the packaging. I won't speculate if this is because they are aware of talcum's links to dangerous carcinogens, but either way, very disappointed in Curash.

Happy shopping folks & Caveat Emptor!!

Misleading packaging, no list of ingredients

Excellent – This is a great product. Even though I use it at most nappy changes, my daughter hasn't experienced the dry skin that some other reviewers have mentioned. I use this powder during the day and sudocreme overnight for the 10+ sleep . Affordable and economical, I have been using the same container for 6+ months and I use it at nearly every nappy… Read more

change. Creates a protective barrier, my daughter has thankfully never had nappy rash and I believe this powder has played a part in that. Doesn't affect the absorbancy of cloth nappies like some barrier creams can. You do need to be vigilant to ensure that your baby doesn't inhale the powder, a gentle tap is much safer than a big puff.

OK – Brought this as an alternative for nappy rash cream. Ended up using it just as a baby powder and not for nappy rash, as it didn't work for my son. - Great for a baby powder - Didn't work on my son for a nappy rash preventative/healer

Excellent – I remembered this product from when my brother was born 20 years ago. It was effective and reliable in all aspects. I now use it on my bubs during not only her nappy changes, but also in skin folds where skin tends to become raw. It is easy to use, smells great, eases any signs of redness from one change to the next. I have recommended this… Read more

product to all of my friends regardless of the age of their children due to it's reliability. Loved everything about it 20 years ago, still love it now. Easy to use, versatile & effective.

Excellent – i have found this product to be the most effective in nappy rash treatment and eaiet to apply as there is no need to touch babies sensitive skin. this is by far our favourite nappy rash product which i got to initally try out when given a sample packet. the light white power has a subtle fragrance and is easy to apply by sprinkling onto the… Read more

required area. i find that within 12hrs the nappy rash, redness i had noted has disappeared. can come out a little fast and as it is a powder in a shake bottle i found if i wasnt completely careful when closing it i would have white powder within my nappy bag. when it got wet on babes creases, i found it clumped up a little but was easy to remove with a wipe

Excellent – This powder is very effective in preventing and treating nappy rash. I use it mainly at night and during the day if I'm using cheap nappies. The zinc is great and the powder smells a little like musk lollies. It's affordable and the bottle lasts a while. Deffinatley something to buy or recomend for a new mothers and mothers to be. Smells nice, it… Read more

works, doesn't irritate baby's skin. I don't know whether it's the climate I live in but I really need to squeeze the bottle for anything to come out, and then heaps comes out.

Excellent – This is the only nappy rash prevention that I've found that can be used on cloth nappies without using a nappy liner. Other barrier creams affect the absorbency of the nappies, but not Curash powder. As I use cloth nappies during the day, I team the powder in the day time with the curash or sudocreme barrier cream at night wth a disposable if I… Read more

notice any little red bumps and it clears up in no time. Don't waste your time with plain powder, the curash not only clears up nappy rash, it helps prevent it too. Can be used on modern cloth nappies!! Really works to prevent nappy rash. Lovely smooth silky powder

Excellent – This is one of the best if not the best baby powders on the market.With curash my baby doesn't get rashes at all. Curash is good at treating and preventing nappy rash. If you try this product, i know you will my as satisfied as me and my baby are. Helps to treat and prevent nappy rash.

Good – I don't use this powder for nappy rashes already visible - more as a deterent for nappy rashes starting. I find using this powder has prevented my son from nappy rashes on his sensitive skin and have found it helps alot with chaffing for babies who are a bit chubby when they are small. I loved using this powder for chaffing around the armpits and… Read more

behind the knees of my son when he was a baby. There is alot of powder that comes out with each shake so you have to be careful that your toddler doesn't get hold of this powder as it makes an awful mess.

Excellent – My baby had heat rash, behind her ears, neck and under her arms. the nurse suggested curash baby powder and it worked a charm. After a few applications you could see that the powder was absorbing the heat and the redness, leaving the area dry and not so red. definitely a great powder works really well

Excellent – I use this not only for my baby, but when I've been suffering from heat rash in the past. It's gentle, mild, and won't irritate the skin and absorbs excess moisture, meaning no more discomfort. I've never had trouble finding it in stock and one tube lasts a fairly long time. Safe and easy to use, light and won't irritate the skin, easy to dispense… Read more

and readilly found in coles, woolworths etc, decent price. Be wary of the bub inhaling it, it's not a HUGE issue with this one, but the power does come out very fast.

Good – I would recommend this product. It is very effective if properly applied and used. I use it along with curash cream alternately. After bath, it is very good to apply since baby needed to be dry but if I need a change of nappy later I use the cream. If you use it alternately, you will find that it doesnt dry up your baby's bottom and can be very… Read more

effective. love this one, easy to apply and very handy. Affordable and easy to find at any supermarkets and chemist. not good if inhaled by baby so better be careful not to be too careless in using powders around baby

Excellent – When my baby had a bit of nappy rash this product was great as I didn’t have to touch him which caused him more pain. Plus when he is restless and doesn’t want to be changed I can just go “poof” and it is applied, so quick and easy. My friend recommended this to me and I’d always over looked it as it was “cheap” and there fore I assumed it… Read more

mustn’t be that good. Well I’m hear to say I was SO wrong, I have never gone back. I also have some for Grandma’s house as she to finds it simple and easy to use. So easy to apply to a wiggling restless baby. Lovely smell and seems nice and light. I love this powder.

Good – I do like this product and I would use it again. The powder format is good because it means less moisture being put onto the bottom but also can be annoying because powder travels everywhere. A liquid, quick drying talc format may be more appropriate. Curash is a great brand though and I do recommend it. Powder format makes it good for nappy rash… Read more

(less moisture going on the skin). It works well to bring down the irritation. Powder does go everywhere if not careful.

Excellent – I used this powder when my children were babies and when the grandchildren came along I could not recommend any other product to their mothers as I have never come across anything better. Now the only problem I have is the grandchildren are no longer babies. Unbeatable for nappy rash

Good – I would recommend this product especially if your baby doesn't like feeling wet. For boys however, it is best used only on the legs and bottom with a moisturising cream for under and around his genitals - I use Rosa - it's all natural and heals and protects like magic, it's about $13 for a jar from the health food store - this and the powder make… Read more

a great combo! This powder actually adheres to the skin creating a nice dry barrier. Unlike zinc creams its not as messy but works just as well. With constant use it can dry the skin out - actually caused some cracking around my sons genitals!

Excellent – This is probably the best powder for babies as it absorbs excess moisture and therefore helps to eliminate nappy rash. Can be used all over babies body and has a lovely smell. It is very cheap to purchase and available at the supermarket. It is also great to use on other children and adults. It is one product that I will definitely recommend… Read more

and continue to use at home myself. Curash Baby Powder is a high quality powder that really does what it says. It stops nappy rash and I am sure the soft powder has a soothing feel for baby.

Excellent – After trying so many different products on our first child for nappy rash, this was the only one that worked. I found that with the creams they could be messy, time consuming, and tricky when trying to apply when changing bub. With curash powder its easy to apply and not much fuss. I also use this on the folds of skin on bub to stop the reddness… Read more

of the skin rubbing.When I had my second bub this will be the only one I will use on her as I know it works and I trust this product the smell is great and not over powering, easy to use packaging

Excellent – Soon after I had my baby he developed a rash below his belly and my doctor recommended I use corn flour as the nappy rash cream was making this particular rash worse, it worked great. I then dicovered curash which is basically corn flour with zinc which helps to heal the skin as well as keeping it dry. I now carry a bottle of it in my nappy bag as… Read more

well as keeping one on the change table and use it at most changes. I love this baby powder. As I use cloth nappies I need to ensure my bubs skin stays nice and dry and Curash is the best.

Good – We use this powder liberally to soak up residual moisture over the nappy area on our baby's body. So easy to use; just shake and the whole area gets covered in a fine powder. Not to be used where there is expected to be more moisture, eg in the groin where you would use the curash cream. But good in prevent chaffing and nappy rash, as the product… Read more

states. Easy to use, just shake all over your baby. No over-powering fragrance. Absorbs moisture so prevents rashes.

Terrible – This powder obviously wasn't for us - maybe it was this particular brand or maybe our baby just doesn't like powder. We're not interested in trying any other types either. But it's a shame as I really liked the scent of this powder! The smell is quite nice, the packaging is easy to use. My baby had a reaction to this powder and as soon as we'd put… Read more

it on her she started screaming. Nothing could calm her down so she screamed until we put her in the bath and washed it off her - this worked instantly. We haven't used it even once since.

Good – This Powder is amazing for curing heat rash on our little boy. He has a problem under one of his arm pits and this powder drys it out very well. We have started putting my Cocoa Butter Nursing Cream on instead and the cream seems to be better than the powder. We still use this powder under his neck as he is a bit of a budda and gets hot under… Read more

his chin. We love the smell and it complements his baby bath which is also curash. Good company and great products. Great for heat rash under arms and under bubby's neck Can be a bit cluggy if you don't dry the area absolutely dry before application

Good – This is a great nappy rash cream that is very easy to apply. It can be a bit messy especially if you are wearing darker colours. I find that curash anti rash powder works best if the nappy rash is not too severe. The fragrance is not too overpowering like some other baby products. It is a great everyday preventative measure and being in a powder… Read more

form you don't have to worry about washing your hands before using the product. I highly recommend this product as it is great value for money and seems to last for a long time. Very easy to apply Not as soothing as nappy rash creams

Good – I use both the cream and the powder depending on the need. I like the powder post bath on bums if they are a bit reddish,then the cream overnight if they have a rash,usually from teething or such.The powder is very messy, due to the fineness I guess, like cornflour.Tends to get on whatever is on and around bub when applying it, not advised to use… Read more

it on lounge or when you have dark clothes. Good powder to have in the nursery basket, very handy and pleasant smelling. Great for after bath on bubs backside, nice smell.Doesnt ball up in cracks and crevices Very fine and messy,gets on everything.
