“CD Powder” Candid Dusting Anti-Fungal
Powder is a medicated powder designed to prevent and treat fungal skin
infections caused by excessive moisture and sweat accumulation. It works by
targeting the fungi responsible for infections like ringworm, athlete's foot,
and jock itch. The powder minimizes symptoms such as itching, irritation,
redness, and swelling, providing a soothing effect on the skin.
Benefits of CD Powder
- Treats fungal infections: Effectively combats
various fungal skin conditions caused by sweat and moisture, including
athlete's foot and ringworm.
- Soothes skin irritation: Provides relief from
discomfort, redness, rashes, and swelling caused by fungal activity or
prickly heat.
- Prevents itching: Specifically formulated to
stop itching in sensitive areas like the underarms, waistline, inner
thighs, and feet.
- Absorbs moisture: The powder base absorbs
excess moisture, keeping the skin dry and creating an unfavorable
environment for fungal growth.
- Protects the skin: Some formulations contain
protectants that moisturize the skin and relieve dryness.
Ingredients of CD Powder
The primary active ingredient
in Candid Dusting Anti Fungal Powder is Clotrimazole, an
antifungal agent that works by destroying the cell membrane of the fungi. Some
variants, like Candid Gold, also include Allantoin, a skin
protectant that helps moisturize the skin and soothe irritation. The powder
base is often made from talc, a mineral that absorbs moisture.
