Baby powder: what it can do as a household helper Eltern.de

Home help What you can use baby powder for in everyday life

Whether in the bathroom, in the bedroom or in the living room - you will be surprised where the all-rounder baby powder can be used.

Baby powder was originally intended to care for baby bottoms. However, because doctors warn of the health risks for babies from inhaling them and the talc it contains is suspected of being carcinogenic, many of us prefer to use alternative care products. But that doesn't mean that baby powder isn't good for anything. On the contrary: did you know that baby care is a clever household helper?

Caution: To be on the safe side, use a talc-free powder in areas where it can get on your skin or be inhaled.
