Why we reached this verdict
The formula. Boogie and Bean Cornstarch Baby Powder (4 oz). Powder base: cornstarch and arrowroot. Ingredients as recorded: Zea Mays (Corn) Starch; Maranta arundinacea (Arrowroot); Sodium Bicarbonate; Kaolin Clay; Chamomilla recutita Flower Extract.
In its favor. No fragrance listed in captured INCI; brand provides an airborne-powder warning.
Against it. Kaolin + botanical powder without public contaminant reports. Product page inconsistently references 4 oz/112 g and a 5 oz specification.
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 check the formula first. The current formula could not be fully verified. Kaolin + botanical powder without public contaminant reports. This is a gap in what could be verified, not a documented hazard. Loose powder of any kind still creates an inhalation pathway, so for routine diaper care no powder is generally the lower-exposure option.
