Review: Last medicated talc standing - For years I used another type of medicated talcum powder to deal with summertime itchy rashes, and to prevent yeast infections under the bra, etc. But because people used talcum powder internally (labeled not for internal use), US makers switched to corn starch to avoid lawsuits. Corn starch does not form a moisture barrier as talc does, and is also food for yeast. Corn starch in fact can cause a mild yeast infection of the skin to spread and become a serious yeast infection. Cuticura is made from talc, and medicated with zinc oxide. It has a not-perfumey fragrance (not floral, more herbal) that dissipates quickly (which is good, so it doesn't compete with the fragrances I want to wear). Its texture is smooth, not gritty. I apply using a big powder puff. I see it's recommended for those with eczema and that's good news for my husband. He'll be using it too. I'll be using Cuticura regularly through the summer. I hope it stays around so I can buy a new supply next summer. Review: Product *used* to be fantastic - ** Update, they use cornstarch now, so can no longer recommend. ** ,Best talc on market. Fixed a heat rash I had that no other talc (talc not the dreaded cornstarch) did. So have been buying it from here for years, and also pick it up when I’m in England. Now, it cheaper to buy from desertcart.uk - even with shipping it’s significantly less expensive.

The real deal
I am very happy with this powder. It's made from impossible-to-find-in-the-US talc and zinc oxide so it does the job it's intended to do. And it doesn't feed skin bacteria and fungi the way that terrible corn starch does. A little goes a long way and it lasts until it gets washed off. The scent is mildly herbal and all together pleasant -- it doesn't leave me smelling like a baby or an elderly woman. Free delivery from the UK took about a week. Three cheers for Cuticura!

Nice smell and no corn starch!
I had to find another medicated powder after not being able to find J&J's medicated powder (found has been discontinued.) The first purchase I made was another brand that contained corn starch, which I found promoted fungal and bacterial growth, so it was practically useless. Threw it out and ordered Cuticura's product. It's so much better, even the scent is better. Does what it needs to do and I'm glad I ordered an extra.

Great!
Though I don't much care for the fragrance, this powder is great for my needs, which is as a foot powder. So much better than the corn starch based garbage, which cakes up.

Not the correct ingredients as in stated title (Talc) and shown in image. Contains corn starch.
Item does not contain Talc as stated in the title and shown in picture of product. As others have stated, it contains zea mays starch which is just a form of corn starch. Also, the plastic bubble wrap bag that it arrived in looks like it was already opened and then returned which I will be promptly doing myself.

Great Product - Soothing, With Light Fresh Pleasant Smell.
A friend brought me this product after a trip to Australia, and I loved it. Both my husband & I like it for use during warm, humid weather. The mild medication also soothes a minor sunburn and itchy insect bites. Much better than a lot of the strong-smelling medicated powders available.
