Finally! The Perfect Powder!!!
I got this because I have all sorts of skin issues and it is hot and humid where we live. This powder is impressive and economical. I have been a lot more comfortable. Here is what I like and dislike about it.
PROS:
- Price can not be beaten
- Reduces friction
- Gentle on the most sensitive skin
- Talc free!!!
- Keeps any kind of abrasions and acne at bay
- Protects feet and prevents smelly shoes too (great for diabetics and those with vascular issues)
- Absorbs moisture while controlling bacterial and fungal growth on your skin
- Sprinkle it pretty much anywhere washable you want to keep bad odors in check (eg: body, shoes, gymn bag, clothes, bed)
- Aluminum and alcohol free, so no burning and it won't dry out the skin
- It is NOT sticky which makes it ideal for high humidities, exercise enthusiasts, and heavy sweaters
- Doesn't clash with my perfume
- Cooling relief tames chaffing and redness
- Clump-free and it doesn't ball up!!! It seemingly wicks the moisture away instead while others form into those nasty, white balls.
- Rinses off easily
- Easy to control, so your bathroom won't look like Pablo Escobar has used it
- Safe to use post shave
- Less is more and it has very few ingredients, so I don't have to be concerned about it irritating my skin, but it still has everything needed to get the job done
CONS (this is me being really nit picky):
- Pink bottle is cute, but I like to leave it on the counter.... I would like a more attractive and discreet design.
- Light fragrance - I prefer everything to be fragrance free, but it is not strong or overwhelming, so it isn't bad
- Powder is pink :p
Helpful Tip:
I have noticed some of the other reviews have mentioned that they didn't get all of their powder or their bottle was partially empty. I always like to be fair and informative in my reviews when possible. The reason why you seem to be observing this is one or two reasons:
1) They sell two weights (aka "sizes") of powder, but currently put them in the same size container. That is a smart way for a new company to save money, so they aren't leveraging all the additional costs of two different sizes of containers. The label is different though.
2) I used to work for major transportation companies and in logistics. Everything that is powder in nature tends to settle. It is similar to our chips at the store. You need the additional space when the item is initially packaged; however, during the shipping process everything settles. If you give it a good shake (while closed), it will look like it is a larger amount. A pound of feathers still weighs the same as a pound of lead though. It just takes up more space. Please don't think you are being fooled by a half empty container.
If you are in doubt, you can always weigh it. You can take it to your local post office and put it on the shipping scale for free and it should tell you how much is in the bottle. It is the contents that matter and not how much perceived space it takes up. You are paying for the powder - not the package. I hope this helps set your minds at ease.
You can buy with confidence!!! These people may be monkeys, but they are not monkeying around with their products.
