Protective barrier creams

Protective barrier creams

Skin that's under constant moisture, friction or repeated washing breaks down quickly, and a barrier product is what keeps it protected. Barrier creams and films sit on the skin to hold a protective layer between it and whatever is causing the irritation.

Films and creams, and when each fits

There are two main types. A no-sting barrier film like Cavilon No Sting Barrier Film Spray 28ml dries to a breathable coat and suits fragile or already-sore skin where a cream would be too heavy. Thicker creams like Cavilon Barrier Cream, Critic Barrier Cream 100g and Comfeel Barrier Cream 60ml are designed to support the skin's natural barrier in high-moisture and high-friction areas, and Avagard Moisturising Barrier Lotion doubles as a hand moisturiser for staff washing up all day.

For the hand hygiene side of skin care, see the hand sanitiser and antiseptic wash range, and the wider picture sits in our guide to workplace first aid compliance. FAD carries 3M, Coloplast and Conveen barrier products together, so the product matches the skin, not the supplier. Always read the instructions for use.
