Frequently asked questions
Is this ointment suitable for incontinence care?
Yes, it is specifically designed for incontinence management. It creates a robust protective barrier against moisture to help prevent skin irritation and breakdown.
Can this be used with CHG-based treatments?
Yes, this formula is CHG-compatible (Chlorhexidine Gluconate), meaning it is safe to use in professional clinical environments alongside standard skin-disinfection protocols without interfering with efficacy.
What active ingredients help nourish the skin?

- Vitamin E
- Aloe extract
These ingredients work together to condition the skin and promote natural recovery.

Is the tube easy to open and use?

Absolutely. Because it is professional-grade and CHG-compatible, it is widely used in both professional healthcare settings and for personal home care needs.
Does it leave a greasy residue?
