Pureen Baby Powder

Pureen Baby Powder is a baby powder from Pureen, a brand familiar to Malaysian families for its baby care range. Baby powder is used to help absorb moisture and reduce friction on the skin, leaving it feeling dry and smooth. It is commonly used after bathing and in skin folds where sweat and moisture can build up. For details of the powder base and any fragrance, please refer to the pack.

When using any baby powder, it is important to apply it carefully so that your baby does not breathe in the fine particles. The safest way is to shake a small amount into your own hand, away from the baby’s face, and then gently pat it onto the skin. A light layer is enough; using too much can cause the powder to clump in skin folds. Avoid applying powder to broken, red or irritated skin.

In Malaysia and Singapore’s hot and humid climate, babies often sweat in their neck folds, under the arms and behind the knees. A light dusting of Pureen Baby Powder on clean, dry skin can help these areas feel drier and more comfortable. Dressing your baby in loose, breathable cotton clothes and keeping rooms well ventilated also helps reduce sweat build-up. If your baby develops a rash that does not settle, speak to a doctor or pharmacist.

• Make sure your baby’s skin is clean and completely dry.
• Shake a small amount of powder into your hand, away from the baby’s face.
