DermaBase
DermaBase Moisturizer Cream
Dry, compromised skin needs more than a quick fix — it needs a base that holds moisture in and gives skin room to recover. DermaBase Moisturizer Cream is a rich, versatile emollient built for exactly that. Its combination of water, mineral oil, and white petrolatum creates an occlusive layer that seals in hydration while soothing rough, flaky, and irritated areas that lighter lotions can't reach.
The 16 oz. jar (NDC/item 00574007116) is a workhorse size for people managing chronic dryness, and it's a familiar choice in home care and clinical settings alike. Many caregivers and patients ask how DermaBase compares to a standard hand lotion: the difference is the petrolatum-based formulation, which acts more like a protective barrier than a fast-absorbing daily lotion. That makes it well suited to hands, feet, elbows, and other stubborn spots that stay dry through the day.
This version is lightly scented. If you're sensitive to fragrance or applying to broken or reactive skin, note the scented formulation before use, and follow any guidance from your clinician on frequency and areas of application. A little goes a long way — a thin, well-massaged layer typically outperforms a heavy coat that sits on the surface.
DermaBase works well as a base for layering under other topical routines and pairs naturally with products in our Skin Care collection. For patients managing incontinence-related dryness or barrier needs, explore complementary options in Personal Care to build a routine that keeps skin protected day and night.
