HIGHLY ABSORBENT - absorbs moisture when dusted onto the skin and helps to protect the skin from moisture loss. It also acts as a barrier against irritants that may cause allergic reactions or discomfort. PROVIDES COMFORT - Our ostomy skin barrier maintains the integrity of the skin barrier and enhances comfort by aiding in wear time. It is used for weeping skins where exfoliation is a concern. GREAT FOR CRUSTING - This stoma powder can form an extra protective layer over damaged skin. Put a dusting of the powder onto your skin and then top it off with a barrier wipe or spray to create an extra-protective crust on traumatized skin. HOW TO USE - To use this ostomy barrier, apply a light powder coating onto your affected area and brush off any excess. Let it completely dry.
