Product review (1 stars): HAZARDOUS FOR HUMAN SKIN WHEN DRY
This review is on the chemical itself, not the seller on Amazon. This chemical compound looks like salt. It is used in just about every diaper brand.

As an absorbing product, it does, but not as it claims. My grandson was using Luvs and we used between 8-12 diapers a day. He is 6 months old. That equates to at minimum 1 an hour or less. They leak. They don't keep the urine off the skin. That is what causes diaper rash.

For my grandson, there was a different issue. He had what we thought was a friction irritation from the outer elastic area. We called to make sure if they used latex. Both I and his Mommy are allergic so it doesnt hurt to be on the safe side. They said no.

My daughter in law took an unused diaper and cut into the diaper to double check. Cotton, maybe rayon, & the salt looking stuff. In a few seconds of her looking for latex, she began getting itchy hives all over. PowPow (Grandpa) came and got me. Im a disabled medic. Bad spine injury a couple years ago.

He told me about it and slapped some wet crystal like goop on my arm. Nothing. Then he put salt on my other arm. Sure enough, red itchy hives in seconds. Guess what else... PowPow started itching too.

So he looked up the salt and I called Luvs (Pampers Sister Co aka Proctor & Gamble, my favorite company of household necessities). They don't call it sodium polyacrylate. Its hbm or something, but its the same. They are sending a care package to retrieve 2 diapers for testing and pictures of our rashes. They are sending coupons, but um, hello!!! Not to mention we took the rest of the diapers back to Walmart for a full refund, went back to the diaper aisle and called White Cloud (not Walmarts brand surprisingly) & found out the ingredientsare simple & non chemical & hypoallergenic & less in cost.

I put more salt on my forearm where it would stay dry and bandaged it with a breathable cloth bandaid for testing. When I woke up, there was red hives outside of the bandage.

So dry, this stuff is a severe skin irritant or burning chemical. It is plentiful in most baby diapers. It is in MOST BABY DIAPERS. I cannot stress that enough. No matter how much Desitin or A & D or corn starch you use, the diaper rash will expand. No matter if you check every 5 minutes and change your baby every time they potty right away. This chemical is on their butts 23.5 hours a day 365 days times two or three. That is too much suffering. Sodium polyacrylate is a great absorption product for everything that does not touch people, especially babies.
