Yes, adults can use Johnson's Baby Powder.
Johnson & Johnson (now Kenvue) formulates its baby products, including baby powder, to be mild and gentle. This makes them suitable for individuals with sensitive skin, which many adults appreciate. While primarily marketed for babies, the company acknowledges that many adults purchase and use their baby powder, lotions, and oils for themselves.
Here's why adults might choose to use Johnson's Baby Powder:
- Sensitive Skin: The gentle formulation is less likely to cause irritation compared to some adult-specific powders.
- Fragrance: The classic baby powder scent can be appealing to some adults.
- Moisture Absorption: Baby powder effectively absorbs moisture, which can be beneficial after showering or exercising.
- General Hygiene: Some adults use it for general hygiene purposes to stay feeling fresh and dry.
It's important to note that the original Johnson's Baby Powder made with talc is no longer sold in North America. Kenvue now offers a cornstarch-based baby powder. Regardless of the type (talc or cornstarch based where applicable), individuals with concerns about allergies or sensitivities should always review the ingredient list before use.
