Dusting Powder For Pharma Franchise

Dusting powders perhaps have a less prominent, but certainly an established, niche position within the dermatology cabinet –the daily go-to product for heat, humidity and friction-related skin irritation. At Hacks & Slacks Healthcare we have put together a range of dusting powders designed to relieve exaggerated perspiration, fungal/bacterial infections and prickly heat, as well as the general irritation associated with warm, moist, skin folds. For pharma franchise users this category lends itself to a stable, repeat purchase product line that complements our wider derma and cosmeceutical range.

For distributors looking for a new therapeutic area to penetrate, or Pharma staff considering a franchise in a monopoly business-our dusting powder ranges are based on manufacturing according to principles of Good Manufacturing Practice, quality tested raw materials, and formulations created to give achievable, stable results.

What Is a Dusting Powder and How Does It Work?

A dusting powder is a dry, finely divided topical preparation for application to the skin to provide a dry, absorbent, friction-reducing coating to (for example) the areas between the toes, between the thighs, under the breasts, in the groin folds and in the skin creases. It controls temperature and moisture, preventing the growth of fungi and bacteria. It is known as a ‘dry’ powder since it does not return moisture to the skin, as do creams and lotions.

The medicated dusting powders may contain either an antifungal or antimicrobial active along with an absorbent base such as talc or kaolin and soothing and cooling agents, depending on the formulation. This type of product will treat an active infection and help prevent the infection’s recurrence.

Demand for Dusting Powder in India

India’s dusting powder market is hinged on climate, lifestyle and improving knowledge about skin health. An equatorial nation, the majority of India experiences sweltering and sticky weather in a significant portion of the year, with sweating, prickly heat, chafing and fungal infections continuing to attract customers to chemists and clinics. The medicated skin care market of India was worth USD 1.52 billion in 2014 and is projected to reach USD 3.43 billion by 2023, 8.7% p.a. (IMARC Group).

Key demand drivers:

• Heat and humidity across most regions
• Common fungal infection can be: jock itch fungus athlete’s foot fungus.
• Rising skincare awareness among middle-class consumers
• Growing preference for talc-free, doctor-recommended formulations
• Year-round, repeat-purchase use

For PCD franchise associates, dusting powder is a regular repeat-selling derma slot.

The Importance of Dusting Powders in Contemporary Dermatology

Ointments and creams are applied directly to the lesion. A dusting powder treats the lesion’s environment. It absorbs moisture, decreases chafing of the two skin surfaces, and leaves a dry film that makes it more difficult for a microbe to grow and reproduce. For the patient, that translates into less itching, less chafing, and greater comfort.

And the clinical evidence. A randomised trial of 31 Thai naval cadets with tinea cruris showed that at 4 weeks, 1% clotrimazole powder achieved a cure in 85.7% of cases, compared with 76.5% for 1% clotrimazole cream. And this was not statistically significant, and all cleared by 8 weeks. The powder was also superior at reducing sweating; while another dose of the trial was too small (only 31) it demonstrates that when it comes to a moist environment a powder is a legitimate combination in the treatment of fungi, and it is not a fall back option.

Patient compliance is important, too. An Indian real-world study showed that 87% of patients felt clotrimazole dusting powder improved their condition and 98% said they would continue to use the product. Indian clinicians report an increasing prevalence of superficial fungal infections and compliance is often a factor in a successful outcome, or a relapse.

Sprinkle Smart: Formulation and Safety – Extra Care Required with Powders

Powders warrant more than their fair share of our attention, and we give powders the extra attention they deserve. Talc has historically been a preferred powder base, but it too has been shrouded in controversy. Cosmetic-grade talc has to be free of all trace amounts of asbestos, but the Cosmetic Ingredient Review panel determined that only asbestos-free talc was safe for cosmetics. The International Agency for Research on Cancer considers talc-based body powder used perineally as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). Finishing cosmetics from India must meet Bureau of Indian Standards specifications listed in Schedule S of the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945.

Decide upfront – raw material selection, demand purity certification from suppliers, and produce in WHO-GMP, ISO and Packaged Drinking Water certified units. We focus on particle size, free-flow properties and packaging that delivers specified quantity, which reduces dust in the air and thereby the chance of inhalation. Powders are not suitable for infants, which is why the American Academy of Paediatrics is against dusting powders of any composition for infants and young children – our counselling message is as follows.

Counselling Tips for Patients

Good outcomes start with proper use. We give each of our franchise partners straightforward directions for patient care:

• Use on clean, dry skin. Ensure the area is dry before dusting. Dry skin, especially between toes and in skin folds, should be well dried before dusting.
• Thin application. A larger amount is not a benefit. Extra products can cakes and may cause irritation.
• No inhaling provided. Product away from the face and eyes.
• Do not use any broken or weeping skin. Do not use broken skin unless prescribed by a doctor.
• Switch from wet clothes/socks quickly. This prevents re-infection and maintains the treatment.
• Seek medical attention. See a doctor if the rash is still not gone, getting worse or keeps coming back.
