Key Ingredients & Their Functions:

What Is Prickly Heat?

Prickly heat (also known as heat rash or miliaria) happens when sweat glands get blocked, trapping sweat under the skin. This leads to:

• Red, itchy rashes

• Small bumps or blisters

• A stinging or "prickly" feeling

Benefits of Dekasan Prickly Heat Powder

1. Cools & Soothes Itchy, Inflamed Skin

• Thanks to menthol, the powder instantly relieves the burning or stinging sensation caused by prickly heat or excessive sweating.

2. Absorbs Excess Moisture & Sweat

• Talc helps reduce skin friction and absorbs sweat, especially in areas prone to heat rash like the neck, back, underarms, chest, thighs, and groin.

3. Unclogs Pores & Prevents Further Blockage

• Prevents the buildup of sweat and oil that causes prickly heat.

4. Prevents Fungal & Bacterial Infections

• The presence of zinc oxide and possibly antibacterial agents (like chlorhexidine) protects irritated skin from secondary infections.

5. Gentle Enough for Daily Use

• Can be used after a shower, during hot days, or after workouts to keep skin dry and fresh.

6. Refreshing Fragrance

• Mild scent keeps you feeling clean and fresh.

How to Use:

⚠️ Always apply to clean, dry skin.

1. Wash the affected area with clean water (avoid using strong soap).

2. Pat dry gently with a towel.

3. Sprinkle a light amount of Dekasan powder over the irritated or sweaty areas.

4. Use 1–2 times daily (morning and evening), especially before going out in the heat.
