RawSkinCeuticals Baby Powder
Quick verdict
- Verdict
- Caution
Tapioca and arrowroot and kaolin powder; no fragrance or essential oils listed. The current formula needs package verification.
Formulation verification required. The "zinc" ingredient is not chemically specified (it may or may not be zinc oxide), and the complete standardized ingredient list needs clarification. See version details.
- Caution
- The "zinc" ingredient is not chemically specified as zinc oxide or another zinc compound.
- Large botanical blend + kaolin expands contaminant/allergy uncertainty.
- Good
- Hand-first, avoid-face direction.
- No separate fragrance/parfum listed.
What we could not verify
- Exact zinc compound and complete standardized INCI require clarification.
- The "zinc" ingredient is not chemically specified (it may or may not be zinc oxide), and the complete standardized ingredient list needs clarification.
- Crystalline silica/mineral phase characterization
- pesticide/botanical purity panel

- Current ingredient list: The current ingredient list could not be fully verified. Check the physical package before relying on it.
- Heavy metals: No public product-specific heavy-metal panel (laboratory, method, lot and numerical result) was located.
- Asbestos: No product-specific asbestos report was located for this clay- or mineral-containing product.
- Microbiology: No public product-specific microbiological limits or report was located.
- Dust and inhalation: No product-specific particle-size, dustiness or aerosolization study was located.
- Other testing: No public data located for: crystalline silica/mineral phase characterization; pesticide/botanical purity panel.
Why we reached this verdict
The formula. RawSkinCeuticals Baby Powder (4 oz). Powder base: tapioca and arrowroot and kaolin. Ingredients as recorded: Tapioca Powder; Kaolin Clay; Arrowroot; Xanthan Gum; Non-Nano Micron Sized Zinc; Calendula; Baby Herb Blend: Calendula, Calamus, Rosemary, Chamomile, Comfrey Leaf.
In its favor. Hand-first, avoid-face direction. No separate fragrance/parfum listed.
Against it. The "zinc" ingredient is not chemically specified as zinc oxide or another zinc compound. Large botanical blend + kaolin expands contaminant/allergy uncertainty.
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. The "zinc" ingredient is not chemically specified as zinc oxide or another zinc compound. 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.
