Skin that is washed and dried several times a day gives up quickly. Remedy barrier cream cloths do the cleaning, the moisturising and the skin protection in one pass, so fragile skin gets handled once instead of three times. The protectant is dimethicone, which leaves a barrier film behind after the cloth is thrown away.
They are made for incontinence associated skin care, where the routine of wash, dry, then apply a separate barrier cream is exactly what wears the skin down. Cutting that to a single cloth saves the carer time as well, which matters when several changes happen in a shift.
The formulation is hypoallergenic and paraben free with a light vanilla scent, and each cloth is used once and binned. That makes it a sensible choice in shared care settings where infection control is watched closely. These cloths are not flushable: they go in the bin, not the toilet.
