Thera Dimethicone Body Shield Barrier Cream — 4 oz scented 5% dimethicone, long‑lasting hydration for incontinence and diaper rash

Thera Dimethicone Body Shield Barrier Cream is a 5% dimethicone ointment that creates a long-lasting protective moisture barrier to help soothe and protect dry, irritated, or incontinence-affected skin.

Designed for skin that needs reliable hydration and mild protection, this 4 oz scented cream blends a clinically inspired dimethicone barrier with calming botanicals. The lightweight ointment locks in moisture, helps reduce surface irritation, and includes natural extracts to support the skin’s comfort without feeling heavy or greasy. Its lavender-ylang fragrance adds a gentle aroma while you treat or maintain vulnerable skin areas such as those affected by incontinence dermatitis or diaper rash.

How does this cream help when skin is exposed to moisture from incontinence?

The 5% dimethicone forms a breathable barrier that reduces water loss and limits direct contact between the skin and irritants. This protects compromised skin and can help the surface feel less raw. The formulation balances protection with hydration so skin is supported rather than sealed off completely.

• Creates a hydrating film to reduce transepidermal water loss
• Helps shield against irritants commonly found in urine or stool
• Designed to be long-lasting for extended wear under briefs or garments

Will it soothe itching and visible redness from chapped or irritated skin?

Yes—this cream blends dimethicone with botanicals like bisabolol and ginger root extract to ease the sensation of itching and calm inflamed-looking skin. These botanical ingredients penetrate the skin’s surface to help reduce discomfort while the barrier component prevents further moisture-triggered irritation.

• Bisabolol (chamomile-derived) for a calming effect
• Ginger root extract to help reduce surface irritation
• Gentle lavender-ylang scent to enhance the application experience

Can I use this as a daily moisturizer for chronically dry skin?

Absolutely—the formula is intended for repeated daily use on dry, sensitive, or cracked (but unbroken) skin. An amino acid blend helps the product penetrate through skin layers to deliver sustained moisture. Its non-greasy finish makes it suitable for routine application across the body where long-lasting hydration is needed.

• Suitable for hands, elbows, knees and other dry areas
• Designed to sink in while maintaining a protective outer layer
• Ideal for nightly or morning routines to maintain skin comfort

How should I apply it and when will I see improvement?

Apply a thin, even layer to clean, dry skin, focusing on areas exposed to moisture or friction. For incontinence-related care, use at each change or as recommended by your caregiver; for chronic dryness, use once or twice daily. Many users notice reduced irritation and improved skin feel after a few applications, though individual response times vary.

• Apply to intact, dry skin—avoid broken wounds
• Reapply as needed after cleansing or exposure to moisture
• Store at room temperature and keep the container tightly closed

Who is this for: Thera Dimethicone Body Shield Barrier Cream is made for adults and caregivers seeking a dependable skin protectant for incontinence-associated dermatitis, diaper rash management, or persistent dry and chapped skin. It suits people who want botanically supported soothing plus a durable dimethicone barrier and prefer a lightly scented, lotion-like ointment for everyday use. Avoid use on open or actively bleeding skin; consult a healthcare provider for severe or worsening conditions.
