Cavilon Durable Barrier Cream – 28g

Cavilon Durable Barrier Cream is a non-greasy, non-petrolatum cream designed to sit on intact skin and shield it from the effects of bodily fluids, while also moisturising at the same time. It’s often used as part of a daily skin care routine for people managing incontinence, and can also help with skin that’s become severely dry or chapped. This 28g tube is a practical size for everyday use.

Key Benefits

• Forms a long-lasting barrier that resists wash-off, so you shouldn’t need to reapply as often through the day
• Moisturises the skin at the same time as protecting it
• Highly concentrated, so only a pea-sized amount is needed each time
• Non-petrolatum based, so it won’t clog or reduce the absorbency of incontinence pad linings
• Doesn’t affect how well tapes and dressings stick, making it easy to fit into an existing care routine
• Hypoallergenic and pH balanced for sensitive skin
• Often included in sacral skin care routines to help support skin that’s at risk of irritation

Good To Know

This is a cream format, applied sparingly in pea-sized amounts. If the skin feels oily afterwards, it’s a sign too much has been used. We also stock a 92g tube and 2g sachets of Cavilon Durable Barrier Cream, both using the same formula, worth considering if you’re using it regularly or want a travel-friendly option.

How To Use

1. Clean and dry the area of skin before application
2. Apply a pea-sized amount, spreading it thinly and evenly over the skin
3. Avoid applying more than necessary, as the formula is highly concentrated
4. Do not apply to broken or infected skin, including areas affected by fungal infection
5. For external use only

Who Is It Suitable For?

Cavilon Durable Barrier Cream is suitable for adults who need protection from irritation caused by bodily fluids, including those managing incontinence, as well as anyone dealing with severely dry or chapped skin. It should not be used on infected areas of skin, such as those with a fungal infection. If you have particularly fragile skin, take care when using it under adhesive products, as it may increase how well some adhesives stick.

FAQs

How much should I use?

Only a pea-sized amount is needed for each application. The formula is highly concentrated, so using more than this won’t improve protection and may leave the skin feeling oily.

Can I use it under incontinence pads?

Yes. It’s non-petrolatum based, so it won’t clog or reduce the absorbency of incontinence pad linings.

Will it affect how well my dressings or tapes stick?

No, it’s designed not to decrease tape or dressing adhesion. If you have fragile skin, take extra care, as the cream may actually increase how well some adhesives stick.

Can I use it on broken or infected skin?

No, it should not be used on infected areas of skin, such as those affected by fungal infections, or on broken skin.

Does this come in other sizes?

This listing is for the 28g tube. We also stock a 92g tube and 2g sachets, using the same formula, which may suit more frequent use or travel.
