Carrington Skin & Wound Care

Carrington builds its reputation on one ingredient it knows better than most: aloe vera. For patients managing incontinence-related skin breakdown, radiation treatment, or simply chronically dry and vulnerable skin, that matters — aloe-based formulations soothe and protect without the heavy, greasy occlusion that can trap moisture against fragile tissue.

The Carrington Moisture Barrier Cream pairs aloe with petrolatum to shield skin from urine, stool, and wound drainage — the daily reality of incontinence care and one of the leading causes of perineal skin breakdown. Its unscented, 3.5-ounce formula spreads easily over intact or at-risk skin and is a practical choice for caregivers and facilities managing residents prone to moisture-associated dermatitis. Because it's fragrance-free, it suits sensitive skin that reacts to scented barrier products.

For patients undergoing radiation therapy, delicate lip tissue is often overlooked until it cracks or burns. The Carrington Radiablock Lip Balm with Aloe Vera combines SPF 15 sun protection with aloe's calming properties in a flavored, scented balm — helping guard lips against both UV exposure and the drying effects of treatment. The same balm is also carried as a Medline Carrington Radiablock Lip Balm, giving buyers a familiar distribution option for the identical formula.

A common question: is a moisture barrier the same as a regular moisturizer? No — barrier creams like Carrington's are formulated to physically repel liquid and stay put through cleansing and repositioning, whereas everyday lotions absorb and wash away. That durability is what makes them a cornerstone of a skin-protection protocol rather than a comfort extra.
