Protective Barriers and Ointments

Barrier Creams, Zinc Oxide Ointments & Healing Balms for At-Risk Skin

Protective barriers and ointments shield skin from moisture, friction, and irritation before damage occurs - commonly used for incontinence care, around stomas and medical devices, and for skin prone to pressure injuries.

Zinc oxide ointments (Leader, Dynarex Dynashield) are a classic, effective barrier against moisture, commonly used for diaper rash and incontinence-related skin protection. Moisture barrier creams and ointments (Coloplast Baza, ClaraVie, Calmoseptine, TENA ProSkin) use ingredients like dimethicone to repel moisture while letting skin breathe, ideal for incontinence care and skin folds. Vitamin A&D ointments (Leader, TheraCare, Geri-Care, Gentell) combine a protective barrier with vitamins that support skin healing. General healing ointments and balms (Aquaphor, Puremedy, CeraVe Healing Ointment) offer broader relief for very dry, cracked, or chapped skin.
