DG. DERM Barrier Cream

DG. DERM Barrier Cream is a silicone-based, biocompatible formula that creates a breathable protective layer to shield the skin from moisture-associated damage (MASD). It helps prevent bedsores and dermatitis related to incontinence or skin folds while maintaining skin hydration and softness. Its non-irritant composition makes it safe for sensitive skin, including that of the elderly and children.

DG. DERM Barrier Cream is a silicone-based product formulated with highly effective and biocompatible ingredients. This product plays a key role in protecting the skin against irritation caused by contact with body fluids, generally referred to as Moisture-Associated Skin Damage (MASD).

By forming a protective layer, DG. DERM Barrier Cream significantly helps in preventing pressure injuries (such as bedsores), preventing and treating incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD), intertriginous dermatitis (ITD), and can be used as periwounds and peristomal applications.

Its formulation is designed to balance occlusivity, allowing the skin to breathe effectively while retaining moisture. Therefore, due to its combined emollient and hydrating effects, the product provides optimal conditions for skin protection.

The formulation avoids the use of occlusive oils or ingredients that may interfere with skin breathability. Instead, by incorporating polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and forming a stable, breathable, and hydrating film, it creates a protective layer that prevents moisture loss and helps restore part of the lost hydration.

Thanks to its non-irritant composition, this cream is safe for use on sensitive and fragile skin, making it suitable for elderly individuals and children.

Side Effects of DG. Derm Barrier Cream

Since silicone-based products are not systemically absorbed, they rarely cause secondary local reactions. In the event of an allergic response, consult a physician.

Directions for Use:

To prevent or treat skin damage, ensure the affected area is clean and dry. Apply a thin layer of DG. Derm Barrier Cream, just enough to leave a minimal protective, non-greasy, and non-sticky film on the skin.
