Frequently asked questions
Is this powder safe for those with latex allergies?
Yes, this McKesson Skin Barrier Powder is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe and reliable option for individuals with latex sensitivities.
How does this help keep my ostomy pouch secure?
By absorbing excess moisture around the stoma, the powder helps create a dry, healthy surface. This effectively supports appliance adhesion, ensuring that tapes and adhesives remain securely in place for longer wear times.
Can this be used for the 'crusting' technique?
Absolutely. This powder is specifically designed to facilitate the ‘crusting’ technique. When used in conjunction with a skin barrier film, it helps establish a durable foundation for your ostomy appliance.
Does it provide relief for irritated or broken skin?
Yes, the pectin-based formula is engineered to protect and treat skin irritation. It creates a protective barrier over broken or inflamed skin, which helps to alleviate discomfort caused by itching or maceration.
Is the applicator easy to use on sensitive areas?
The product comes in a convenient puff bottle, which allows for highly targeted and precise application. You can easily control the amount of powder dispensed directly onto the peristomal area.
What is the primary ingredient in this formula?

Is this product suitable for daily stoma care?
