Dermicool

Dermicool is an over‑the‑counter, talc-based topical prickly heat powder formulated as a proprietary Ayurvedic medicated product to relieve heat rash, prickly heat, itching, burning, and other sweat‑related skin irritation in hot, humid conditions. It combines physical absorbents such as talc and starch or corn starch with cooling agents like menthol and camphor, plus antimicrobial components including zinc oxide and triclosan, and herbal/Ayurvedic ingredients such as jasat bhasma, tankan amla, vetasa (Salix caprea) bark extract, neem, tulsi, yavanala, and related plant extracts, which together absorb sweat, create a cooling sensation by stimulating cutaneous cold receptors, and provide bacteriostatic and antifungal activity against sweat‑associated skin infections.[1][2][4][6][7][8][10] Dermicool is positioned for symptomatic treatment and prevention of prickly heat, dhobi itch, athlete’s foot, and other minor sweat rashes, and is marketed in multiple fragrance and cooling variants (e.g., menthol regular, ice cool, lavender, sandal, aloe) for repeated topical use during summer or intense heat exposure.[1][4][5][11]
