Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is barrier cream used for? Barrier cream puts a protective layer between skin and moisture. It helps prevent and relieve the redness, chafing, and soreness that come from contact with urine, stool, or wet incontinence products.

Q: Does zinc oxide cream help with incontinence rash? Yes. Zinc oxide is one of the most common barrier ingredients. MedlinePlus lists zinc oxide among the barrier creams that keep water and urine away from the skin.

Q: When should you apply barrier cream? After each change of a wet or soiled product: clean the skin gently, let it dry, then apply a thin layer. Reapply as needed for protection and relief.

Q: Is this barrier cream safe for sensitive skin? It is paraben-free and made with aloe vera, chamomile, and vitamin E along with zinc oxide. It is for external use only; stop use and ask a clinician if the rash worsens or does not improve.

Q: Can you use barrier cream with incontinence underwear or pads? Yes. A thin layer works under pads, guards, and pull-up underwear. Change wet products promptly so moisture does not sit against the skin.

Q: How big is the tube? Each tube holds 3 fluid ounces. It is sold as a 1 pack or a 3 pack.

Q: What else helps protect skin during incontinence? Gentle, no-rinse cleansing and prompt changes matter as much as the cream. Our Extra Large Wipes clean without harsh rubbing.

Why we know this works!

We love this barrier cream because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we see how fast skin breaks down when it sits against moisture. How do you prevent skin breakdown from incontinence? Do not wait for redness to get worse: cleanse gently, dry, and apply a zinc oxide cream at every change so there is always a protective layer between skin and wetness. The zinc oxide in this cream both shields sensitive skin and relieves the chapped, irritated areas that incontinence leaves behind. It is especially important for people who wear pads or briefs full time and for anyone with limited mobility who sits or lies in one position for long stretches. If a rash keeps worsening despite cleaning and cream, or you see open skin, strong odor, pus, or fever, stop and call the doctor, because that needs medical treatment, not more cream.
