Barrier Cream with Zinc Oxide – 200 ml
Help protect vulnerable skin from moisture and irritation with this Zinc Oxide Barrier Cream.
Designed for regular use, the cream forms a protective barrier over the skin, helping shield it from prolonged contact with moisture, urine and faeces. It is particularly useful as part of a skin-care routine for people experiencing incontinence or frequent episodes of diarrhoea.
When diarrhoea is present, more frequent application may be beneficial to help reduce direct contact between the skin and irritating digestive enzymes.
Helps Protect Vulnerable Skin
Regular application helps support the skin's natural protective barrier and can assist in reducing the risk of moisture-associated skin irritation and breakdown.
The zinc oxide formulation provides effective protection without needing to apply a thick layer.
