Why we reached this verdict
The formula. Anti Monkey Butt Baby Anti Friction Powder (8 oz). Powder base: cornstarch. Ingredients as recorded: Zea Mays (Corn) Starch; Calamine; Tricalcium Phosphate; Fragrance.
In its favor. No talc listed in the current formula.
Against it. Contains fragrance. The directions describe sprinkling directly onto the baby, which is less conservative than applying from the hand, away from the face. Calamine mineral composition makes metals characterization relevant.
Testing. No public product-specific report was located for heavy metals, asbestos, crystalline silica, microbiology, pesticide residues or PFAS and fluorine.
Where it sits. Grouped under better options exist. Contains fragrance. Stronger options exist that avoid this. This is a comparison, not a finding of harm. Loose powder of any kind still creates an inhalation pathway, so for routine diaper care no powder is generally the lower-exposure option.
