The most important function of the skin is to act as a barrier to the external environment (Flanagan, 2020).Hydroactive colloid gel for skin at risk of damage from radiotherapy (radiation-induced dermatitis). A Cochrane review also found the management of IAD using a skin care product was more effective than not using one (Beeckman et al, 2016). Its surfactant ingredient, Poloxamer 188, cleans skin without drying it out, while its solubilizer breaks down dried stool without the need for scrubbing. This water-repellent, antiseptic barrier cream protects skin from moisture, irritants, chafing and contamination with bacteria or yeasts. Other ingredients include vitamins and nutrients derived from natural ingredients including safflower, green tea, blue green algae, clove, soya and corn .

Traditional soap and some cleansers require water to rinse but PROSHIELD ◊ Foam and Spray Skin Cleanser requires no rinsing (Flynn and Williams, 2011; Ling, 2011; Wall and Vernon, 2016) or the use of a separate moisturiser when used with PROSHIELD ◊ PLUS Skin Protectant and therefore has the potential to reduce the number of steps needed in the skin care regimen of a person with incontinence.Howers L, Boyett F (2012) Evaluation of Proshield Plus in nursing homes for inclusion onto formulary in a healthcare trust. Proshield Plus Skin Protectant is designed to be used alongside a skin care regimen to protect both healthy and damaged skin from moisture-related skin damage such as incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) and pressure ulcers. Flynn and Williams (2011) undertook a small user evaluation in an elderly group of patients who had skin damage following incontinence. Incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) occurs when the skin is exposed to urine and/or faeces (Beeckman et al, 2015). Achieving these goals by using just one product is considered to be best practice for patients who are at high risk of, or have, IAD (Beeckman et al, 2015).
