Why we reached this verdict
The formula. What Calls the Heart Organic Baby Powder. Powder base: arrowroot and white clay. Ingredients as recorded: Arrowroot; white clay; marshmallow root; comfrey; zinc (exact zinc compound not disclosed on captured page).
In its favor. Original variant is marketed without added scent.
Against it. Exact clay identity and zinc chemical identity are not adequately disclosed. Comfrey-containing powdered botanical formula warrants source/purity scrutiny.
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. Exact clay identity and zinc chemical identity are not adequately disclosed. 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.
