Agnesia Antiseptic Dusting Powder 300g
Agnesia Antiseptic Dusting Powder 300g is a trusted medicated powder that has been a staple in Nigerian homes for decades. Formulated to handle the challenges of our hot and humid climate, it provides effective relief from prickly heat (heat rash), nappy rash, and minor skin irritations caused by moisture and friction.
With a powerful combination of 25% Zinc Oxide and 0.5% Chlorhexidine, Agnesia powder works by absorbing excess sweat to keep the skin dry while providing antiseptic protection against minor bacterial and fungal infections.
Key Benefits for Skin Care
- Prickly Heat Relief: Quickly soothes that "pepperish" or burning sensation caused by heat rash (prickly heat).
- Nappy Rash Protection: Creates a protective barrier on a baby’s delicate skin to prevent irritation from wet diapers.
- Antiseptic Action: Formulated with Chlorhexidine to help protect the skin from minor infections.
- Chafing & Body Odor: Helps prevent skin-to-skin friction (chafing) and keeps areas like the underarms and feet dry to reduce odor.
How to Apply Agnesia Powder
- Wash the affected skin with mild soap and water.
- Ensure the area is completely dry before application.
- Gently sprinkle a thin layer of the powder onto the skin.
- For babies, sprinkle the powder into your palm first, away from the baby's face, and then apply to avoid inhalation.
- Use after every bath or whenever the skin feels damp or irritated.
Safety & Usage Tips
Agnesia powder is generally safe for adults and children. While many use it for newborns to prevent rashes, it is important to avoid the powder getting into the baby’s nose or mouth. If your baby has sensitive skin or a persistent rash, it is best to contact a GoMed pharmacist for guidance before use.
Do not apply to deep wounds, broken skin, or severe burns. Store the container in a cool, dry place below 30°C.
