THREE PACKS van Cuticura Talcum Powder Mildly Medicated x 250 g

I’d looked everywhere for this product and was delighted when I saw it on Amazon, quick delivery was a God send as I really needed it, a bit more expensive than I normally pay but worth every penny, fantastic.

Great product and keenly priced for three talcs. I gave one to my husband, kept one for myself and stored the third. The talc is very effective at keeping at bay, nasty itchy rashes which can be brought on by yeast infections. The talc also serves to keep parts of the body dry, which is essential for good hygiene. The talc is mildly medicated, but has a fresh, clean smell with no hint of it being slightly antiseptic. The talc is fairly fine, which means it doesn’t come out in clumps. Delivery was excellent and would thoroughly recommend.

I work in the offshore oil industry and I frequently work in hot countries, or hot environments. I have used cuticura for many years, after showering, to both treat and also to prevent sweat-rash and fungal infections. most particularly around the groin area.I find cuticura tends not to form clumps if applied to slightly damp skin, or while you sweat during the day. It certainly seems to speed up the effectiveness of topical creams/ointments when treating fungal infections and I find it definitely has a better effect than simply using plain talcum powder (eg baby powder). It seems finer grained than baby talcum-powder.There is hardly any scent or smell to it, so you dont have that strong cloying talcum-powder smell following you around.Cuticura always came in metal containers, and I found they used to get deformed, squshed, dented, in my bags and leaks would develop along the seam just below the point where the container starts to taper towards the “shaker”.In 2012 or so Cuticura started to ship in blue plastic containers – and these were ideal for me.The plastic containers were the same size and shape as the metal ones, but were slightly pliable, and were more resistant to damage in a tightly packed bag.I have also found that with the plastic container it was possible to squeeze the container and “puff” the powder upwards – eg into the groin area.Unfortunately they have now gone back to the metal cans (confirmed when I emailed the manufacturers).I do still have several of the plastic containers still, so when a buy a new tin, I prise the top section off the tin , pop the “pepper pot” top off an empty plastic container when empty and refill it from the metal tin.Be careful if you do that though- the top edge exposed when you remove the top section of the tin is razor-sharp. I cut myself quite badly the first time I did it.I have reduced my rating to 4 stars because of the metal container. The cuticura powder is still the best that I have used.I strongly recommend Cuticura over any alternatives that I have tried, and even more so now in the plastic container.
