Incontinence Creams: Protecting and Soothing Skin

Incontinence can lead to prolonged exposure of the skin to moisture and irritants, increasing the risk of irritation, redness, and breakdown. Incontinence creams are specially formulated products designed to protect and soothe the skin, ensuring comfort and promoting skin health.

What Are Incontinence Creams?

Incontinence creams are barrier creams or ointments that provide a protective layer on the skin. They are designed to shield the skin from moisture, friction, and irritants caused by incontinence while offering soothing and healing benefits.

How Do Incontinence Creams Work?

1. Form a Protective Barrier: These creams create a layer that prevents urine, feces, and other irritants from directly contacting the skin.

2. Moisturize the Skin: Many incontinence creams contain hydrating ingredients to restore moisture and improve skin elasticity.

3. Soothe and Heal: Ingredients like zinc oxide or lanolin help to reduce redness and irritation while supporting the skin’s natural healing process.

Benefits of Incontinence Creams

1. Protects Against Skin Breakdown: Prevents moisture from causing irritation or maceration.

2. Soothes Irritated Skin: Reduces discomfort and promotes faster recovery.

3. Improves Skin Health: Hydrating ingredients maintain the skin’s natural barrier function.

4. Easy to Apply: Creams and ointments are simple to use, making daily skin care routines more manageable.
