MoliCare Skin Barrier Cream
MoliCare Skin Barrier Cream – Transparent Zinc-Free Skin Protection
MoliCare Skin Barrier Cream is a transparent, zinc-free protective cream designed to shield perineal skin from the harmful effects of prolonged exposure to urine, moisture and faeces associated with incontinence. Incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) is a common and painful complication of incontinence — MoliCare Skin Barrier Cream provides a protective film that maintains the skin's natural acid mantle and prevents breakdown.
The transparent formula allows visual skin assessment without removal, making it ideal for clinical and home care settings. Available from Pakuranga Pharmacy.
Key Features
- Transparent barrier — allows skin assessment without removal
- Zinc-free formula — non-staining and skin-friendly
- Protects perineal skin from urine, moisture and faecal irritants
- Helps prevent and manage incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD)
- Contains creatine and panthenol to support skin health
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is a zinc-free barrier cream preferred for incontinence care?
A: Traditional zinc oxide creams leave a white residue that makes skin assessment difficult and can be messy to apply and remove. MoliCare Skin Barrier Cream's transparent, zinc-free formula allows carers and clinicians to visually assess skin condition without removing the cream at every change, reducing skin trauma from repeated wiping.
Q: How do I apply MoliCare Skin Barrier Cream?
A: Apply a thin layer to clean, dry perineal skin at each pad change. There is no need to remove the cream completely at subsequent changes — simply reapply over the existing layer. This reduces skin trauma from wiping and maintains ongoing protection.
Q: Can MoliCare Skin Barrier Cream be used to treat existing skin breakdown?
A: MoliCare Skin Barrier Cream is primarily a preventive product. For existing skin breakdown, erythema or open sores, consult a wound care nurse or healthcare professional for appropriate treatment. The barrier cream can be used alongside treatment products to protect healing skin.
Q: Is MoliCare Skin Barrier Cream suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Yes — MoliCare Skin products are dermatologically tested and formulated for the particularly sensitive skin of people with incontinence. The skin-balanced pH and gentle formula minimise the risk of allergic reactions. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider.
