Powders and Gels for First Aid Kits
Powders and gels are an important part of every first aid kit, providing quick and effective care for minor injuries, abrasions, cuts, or burns. Powders, usually in the form of antiseptic dusting agents, are used to disinfect and dry wounds, speeding up healing and reducing the risk of infection. Gels are ideal for burns, insect bites, skin irritation, or soothing minor inflammations—they provide a cooling effect, hydrate the skin, and support faster recovery.
