Serenity Care Barrier Cream 100mL | Each

Serenity Care Barrier Cream with Zinc Oxide — 100mL

Serenity Care Barrier Cream has been specially designed to prevent and calm skin irritations, particularly those caused by absorbent incontinence products. It is enriched with glycerine and panthenol which helps to protect the skin barrier, keeping skin hydrated throughout the day. 

Dermatologically tested and designed for treating sensitive skin, the cream acts as a lubricant on the skin surface, giving the skin a soft and smooth appearance. Specifically developed for aged skin and continence care, it is paraben-free. 

Part of the Serenity Care Three-Step Skin Protocol

Serenity Care Barrier Cream is the Protect step in the Ontex-recommended three-step continence skin care protocol:

1. Cleanse — remove skin contaminants gently after each incontinence episode
2. Moisturise — restore skin hydration between changes
3. Protect — apply Serenity Care Barrier Cream to form a protective barrier against further irritation

This structured approach to continence skin care is consistent with best-practice guidelines for preventing and managing incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) — a priority concern for continence nurses and support workers managing participants who wear absorbent incontinence products.

Key Verified Features

• 12% Zinc Oxide — forms a physical protective barrier on the skin surface, shielding against moisture and irritants from urinary and faecal incontinence
• Glycerine — humectant that draws moisture to the skin, maintaining hydration and supporting the natural skin barrier function
• Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) — can be converted to vitamin B for skin health, supporting skin repair and integrity
• Dermatologically Tested — proven not to cause skin irritations
• Paraben-Free — free from parabens
• Alcohol-Free and Perfume-Free — 0% alcohol and perfume, reducing the risk of further irritation on already-sensitive or compromised skin 
• Smooth Finish — acts as a lubricant on the skin surface, giving the skin a soft and smooth appearance 
• Suitable for Aged Skin — specifically developed for aged skin, continence care and overall wellbeing 

Clinical Application — IAD Prevention and Management

Incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) is one of the most common skin integrity challenges for NDIS participants who use absorbent continence products. Prolonged skin contact with urine and faeces damages the skin's natural protective barrier, leading to redness, inflammation, pain and — if unmanaged — skin breakdown and secondary infection.

A barrier cream containing zinc oxide is a clinically recommended intervention for IAD prevention. The zinc oxide in Serenity Care Barrier Cream creates a water-repellent physical layer on the skin surface that:

• Reduces direct skin contact with urine and faecal matter between product changes
• Supports recovery of the skin barrier between incontinence episodes
• Reduces friction between skin and absorbent product surfaces
• Helps maintain skin integrity during extended wear periods

Regular application as part of a structured cleanse-moisturise-protect skin care routine is recommended at each continence product change.
