The Secret to Soothing Sunburn, Bug Bites & Heat Rash

The Secret to Soothing Sunburn, Bug Bites & Heat Rash

By Stefanie Lendzian, Founder of NAPRIM

Summer is my favorite season! But let’s be honest, it’s also when our skin tends to freak out the most.

Between the sun, heat, sweat, bug bites, and constant sunscreen reapplication, even the healthiest skin can start feeling irritated or inflamed. I originally created our Nourishing Powder as a natural treatment for skin irritation. 

It was something I made for my daughter’s eczema. I wanted something safe, simple, and plant-based that could calm her skin without any harsh ingredients.

But what really surprised me? Our customers!

After they started using it, I kept getting message after message saying, “This is the only thing that helps my heat rash,” or “I use this on bug bites and it takes the itch away instantly.”

They were the ones who showed me just how versatile this powder really is.

Here’s some of the ways you can use the Nourishing Powder:

  • Sunburn relief - Takes down redness and soothes overheated skin

  • Bug bites - Calms itchiness without sticky creams or chemicals

  • Heat rash - Soothes those tiny bumps that show up from sweating

  • Acne and blemishes - I use it on breakouts at night, and the inflammation is down by morning

  • Razor burn - Especially helpful after shaving or waxing

  • Post-wax care - Helps prevent bumps and calm irritation

  • Everyday dryness and redness - Safe for sensitive skin and gentle enough for kids

If you’re anything like me, you want something that feels clean and effective. This powder is both. It’s made with 100% plant-based ingredients, it’s talc-free, fragrance-free, and totally safe for the whole family.

It also contains non-nano zinc oxide: a mineral that naturally protects your skin from UVA and UVB rays. And because it’s a powder, it feels light, breathable, and disappears into your skin. No white cast or sticky residue = no mess.

Why Powder?

I love using a powder because it’s fast, clean, and soothing. You just tap a little into the lid, use a brush or puff, and apply to damp skin. You can use it morning or night, and it never feels heavy or greasy.

 

What’s Inside (and Why It Works)

  • Arrowroot (organic) - absorbs moisture gently

  • Non-nano zinc oxide - for natural sun protection

  • Kaolin clay - purifies and soothes

  • Chamomile flower (organic) - calms redness and inflammation

  • Calendula flower (organic) - supports healing

  • Marshmallow root (organic) - hydrates and softens

  • Colloidal oat - classic for calming itchy skin

  • Rose clay - detoxifies without drying

And yes, it’s proudly made in the USA. We don’t use fillers, perfumes, or preservatives!

How to Use the Nourishing Powder

  • Sift a small amount into the lid or onto a clean surface

  • Use a brush to lightly dust onto damp skin

  • For best results, apply twice a day to affected areas

  • Avoid contact with eyes; rinse with water if needed

  • Store in a cool, dry place

One Powder, So Many Possibilities

Whether it’s a sunburn on your shoulders, a cluster of mosquito bites, or a breakout before a big day… this is the one thing I always keep in reach! Our customers turned it into a multi-use staple, and I’m so grateful they did.

If your skin is feeling the effects of summer, I hope this gives you the relief you’ve been looking for.
