Barrier Cream Comparison

A barrier cream is a type of skin care product used especially on hands to protect them from harmful irritants or chemicals. The hands are the parts of the skin mostly exposed to allergens, contaminants, germs, and dirt. Although the skin has its own defense against the environmental hazards, it is also vulnerable particularly if you frequently wash your hand. Constant washing of hands can dissolve skin’s natural barrier.

What is a Barrier Cream?

Barrier creams act like an invisible barrier to defend your hands from harmful chemicals and irritants. It can also help avoid further damage if your hands are already affected. When applied to your hand, the skin barrier cream is likened to gloves, albeit, invisible. It quickly dries and guards your hands while handling water and compounds that are solvent-based and which can cause skin chapping or cracking, and sometimes, bleeding. The Barrier Cream is neither greasy nor slippery. Some barrier creams have formula for soothing skin. It is highly recommended for workers to protect their hands from contracting dermatitis, inflammation, and other infections.
