is this a good replacement for BFI powder?

The two products have totallydifferent ingredients (BFI Powder: boric acid, magnesium carbonate, talc, bismuth formic iodide, bismuth subgallate, zinc phenolsulfonate, potassium alum, thymol, menthol, eucalyptol; Columbia Powder: zinc oxide and phenol). Having said that, and not knowing the purpose that you want it for, I can say that both my wife and I swear by Columbia Antiseptic powder for virtually all our skin problems. It seems to cure allergic reactions, heat rashes, contact dermatitis and other skin problems in just a day or so. The only problem we have with it is that it's rather expensive, and very few people carry it. Thank God, Amazon does.

I don't know. What I do know is that it does not dry my skin as other powders do making the problem even worse. Instead of drying the skin it feels as if actually lubricating and soothing. As a doctor...it is the best I've tried. It stops the diaper rash and associated infections on its tracks.

I think it is. BFI works well on minor derm bacterial infections but Columbia works exceptionally well on most topical infections. Bacterial, fungal, insect bites, etc. So if you're not sure exactly what type of derm infection you are treating, Columbia is the better choice. Read my full review on Amazon.

Yes, I believe so! I am no expert, but I don't see any inconsistency in the powder... I am new to it.

have not used any powder products, it might work with powder but I don't think so. try it and let me know how it works.

Yes, Pernigotti is a really good cocoa powder. I use it exclusively now, and since I cannot find it locally, always buy it from Chefshop through Amazon.

I've never used those two products so I can't compare them. This is powder - sort of crystals - not really a fine powder.It works great for my spa filter. Spa Depot has great products, of very good or superior quality to others, and they usually have much less filler than other brands. Very good customer service in my experience, and they answer questions by phone too.Here's the product description page at Spa Depot:http://www.spadepot.com/shop/Power-Soak-Filter-Cleaner-P779C57.aspx

You would have to ask the company. I use Rid-X because the people who pump our septic tank told us to. I do prefer the liquid over the powder but the powder is cheaper. Sorry I couldn't help you more.

I prefer the powder too. I don't see why you couldn't premix it, if you wanted. It seems like it would keep ok.

I think it is similar to Show Sheen and based on the same similar formula. Do note that another reviewer said it caused her dogs hair to break, silicon products will do this.

I went on jane Iredale site, bought mineral foundation, love it, it is lite and creamy, not heavy, use color bb3 which is light, but there is a BB1 you may wish to consider! The site shows sample of colosr

yes it is. But i don't like this product at all. Only used it once, and it doesn't look smooth on the face at all, even on top of a nice layer of foundation. I changed to bear mineral loose powder, much better. You can find it on amazon too.

That's what I am currently using- for powder foundation. I've been using homemade powder for well over a month and LOVE IT! My skin breaks out less (like 1 bad day a month as opposed to 1 bad week a month) and I've noticed I can go without makeup more often now. I mix a tiny amount of this clay powder with cocoa powder and amaranth starch- the powder keeps me from becoming oily on my t-zone and puts a green tint in the color of the powder foundation, which is good for my sometimes red/ruddy complexion. Clay powder can be used for cleaning or masks, but it can also be used in foundation- just not too much since it's green! That's what I am currently using- for powder foundation.

Well, I would say yes. I am 50+ years old. Not sure if that is "senior" or not :) but I use it and it is a great product I think. I was having some menopausal acne that it cleared up and you don't need to use powder with it - gives a cleaner, simpler look but with great coverage. Hope I've helped answer your question. Thanks! - Felecia

This bentonite product is different than others on the market. Sonne's starts with natural bentonite clay, then they refine out the dirt, mica, & other impurities that do not have drawing powders. There results are a more concentrated solution that contains the active consituent, montmorillonite. Sonne's is the only company on the market that takes this extra step to produce a more powerful detoxifer. You will have to go to Sonne's Webb site to get the answer about the lead or any other frequently asked questions. I hope this has been helpful. I myself love all of Sonne's products. Barbara

No... This is just similar to other mineral makeups - it is powder based and will wash off.

It is a powder and I'm not sure about comparing as we had only used Leisure Time filter cleaner before this. Seems to work ok, though and will probably last longer than a liquid.

yes I have used both. FACTOR 2 delivers even more than the original! Very good product.

I don't think so. It is just a baking mix like bisquik, not a flour replacement.
