How to use
Use Purisorb® after bathing, showering or as a refreshing dusting from perspiration.
Use Purisorb® for babies after bath or anytime.
Twist Purisorb's® grip-lid to open the hygienic powder. Place it close to the skin and gently tip the container. This will dispense a metered quantity of Purisorb® powder. (Adjust the grip-lid to reduce metered quantity, if needed.) Gently spread the dispensed powder on the skin surface. When finished, wash hands with water.
As with any powder, remember to avoid breathing any dust and protect your baby from breathing any powder. Do not slap your hands together to clean up as it increases your chances of inhaling powder.
Detailed product description
Neways' Purisorb® naturally soothes the skin to make it feel silky, luxurious and healthy. It also contains antioxidants, which scavenge free radicals that can damage the youthful appearance of skin.
Would you use asbestos powder on your baby's bottom? Of course you wouldn't. But if you are using a talc-based hygiene powder - for yourself and/or your baby - then significant potential health risks make that scenario more chilling than laughable. Talc can increase the risk for respiratory ailments and it has been linked to ovarian cancer.
What is talc and talcum powder?
Talc is an irregulary shaped mineral mined from the earth. Talc is know to contain minute, asbestos-like fibers. These asbestos-like fibers have known carcinogenic (cancer-causing) activity. In addition, talc powder comes in a range of particle sizes. The smallest particles (less than 5 micrometers) generally pose the greatest risk.
There are two major sources of concern with regard to talc-based powders and both are related to the composition of talc itself. Commercial talcum powders contain an average of 19% of the asbestos-like mineral fibers tremolite, anthophyllite and chrysotile. These fibers and particles are microscopic and can cause serious health hazards.
The first concern with these fibers is that through inhalation they can permanently lodge in the smallest air pathways of the lungs thereby reducing lung capacity. These particles may lead to asthmatic and sports-induced asthmatic episodes, adversely affecting one's lifestyle. Extreme talc inhalation (multiple and/or high concentration experiences) can greatly reduce one's breathing and working capacities.
The second source of concern is talc used for feminine hygiene. Studies have shown that through the common practice of exterior genital dusting, talc skin powdering may be linked to ovarian cancer. Migration of these small particles into the female ovaries appears to be the mode of action.
With Purisorb® Neways has answered the industrial invitation issued by Dr. Samuel Epstein, Chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition, to produce a safe, talc-free, moisture-absorbing skin powder. Purisorb's® particles are much larger than 5 micrometers and are friendlier to the body's health. Neways appreciates the consistent efforts of Dr. Epstein and the Cancer Prevention Coalition in recommending safe ingredients for personal care products.
What makes Purisorb® safe and effective? The secret is natural tapioca powder which gives Purisorb® all the desired benefits of a skin-drying powder without the harmful effects of talc-based powder.
Purisorb® absorbs excess moisture on the skin without drying the skin. It also leaves the skin feeling soft and silky. Purisorb® is not artificially scented. It stays on the skin where it is applied without creating a large particle cloud.
Purisorb® helps absorb excess moisture to keep the skin feeling refreshed all day. Purisorb® is convenient and safe for the whole family.
Key Ingredients:
- Tapioca, a natural starch that absorbs oil and excess moisture. It provides a silky smooth, luxurious sensation when applied.
- Chitosan absorbs moisture and aids against body odor. It also helps reduce minor skin irritation caused by excess moisture or friction.
- Vitamin E improves skin texture by helping maintain healthy moisture content. It also acts as an antioxidant, scavenging free radicals which can make the skin look older than it is.
- Aloe Vera re-hydrates and softens the skin. It also helps soothe irritated or sensitive areas.
And what Purisorb® doesn't have is important, too: Purisorb® is completely talc-free. And that's good news because talc has been linked to several kinds of cellular dysfunction, as well as, respiratory ailments. Talc has also been linked to ovarian cancer in animal tests on some mammals. In fact, concerned researchers have advocated discontinuance of talc-based products on women.
Purisorb's® natural ingredients are safe, and they enhance the health of your skin while they refresh your whole body.
So how does Purisorb® work? Tapioca is a natural starch derived from the roots of the cassava plant that grows in the tropics. Its large root can be dried and ground into a homogenous powder that absorbs oil and excess moisture. Coarse tapioca powders have been commonly used by peoples in the tropic zones. Tapioca provides a silky smooth, luxurious sensation when applied. Purisorb's® tapioca-starch base is of special interest to those who are allergic to the common starch made from wheat.
