DynaShield Skin Protectant Creams

When skin is repeatedly exposed to moisture from incontinence, perspiration, or wound drainage, the barrier that keeps it healthy breaks down fast. DynaShield skin protectant creams from Dynarex are formulated to sit between vulnerable skin and that constant wetness, forming a protective layer that repels moisture while soothing already-irritated areas. For caregivers and facilities managing residents at risk of incontinence-associated dermatitis, this is everyday frontline protection.

The line pairs two proven ingredients in different combinations. The DynaShield with Dimethicone and Zinc Oxide (1199) uses dimethicone as a breathable silicone barrier alongside zinc oxide, which shields against wetness and helps calm inflamed skin?a good choice where moisture exposure is heavy. The DynaShield Skin Protectant with Zinc Oxide and Aloe swaps in aloe for its conditioning, soothing properties, available in a 4 oz tube (1195) for individual use and a 16 oz size (1196) that's practical for high-volume care settings. All are scented and latex-free.

How often should you apply it? Most caregivers use these creams at each brief change or after cleansing, smoothing a thin layer over clean, dry skin at the perineum, buttocks, and any area prone to chafing. A little goes a long way?the film doesn't need to be thick to work. Because zinc oxide creams are opaque, you don't have to fully remove old product with every change; gentle cleansing and reapplication maintains the barrier without over-scrubbing fragile skin.

DynaShield fits naturally into a broader skin and incontinence care routine. Explore complementary skin care products and protective underwear to build complete protection for the people in your care.
