Description
Key Features:
Active Ingredients: It's primarily a white petrolatum-based (often around 57%) formulation, enhanced with zinc oxide (typically around 17%). These active ingredients form a protective barrier on the skin.
Phytoplex Blend: A distinctive feature of the Remedy line, Phytoplex is a proprietary blend of botanicals (such as soy protein, green tea, clove flower, and blue-green algae) and natural oils. This blend aims to nourish, moisturize, and soothe the skin, promoting overall skin health.
Indicated for Diaper Rash and Macerated Skin: Specifically formulated for the relief and prevention of discomfort associated with diaper rash caused by wetness, urine, and/or stool. It's also highly effective for other conditions involving macerated (softened and broken down by moisture) skin.
Adheres Well to Skin: The thick, petrolatum-based formula is designed to stick effectively to intact, irritated, or denuded (raw) skin, providing a lasting protective barrier.
Scented Formula: This particular variant is scented, offering a pleasant fragrance during use.
Versatile Skin Protection: Beyond diaper rash, it temporarily protects and helps relieve chapped or cracked skin, minor cuts, scrapes, and burns.
Hypoallergenic and Gentle: Formulated to be non-sensitizing and hypoallergenic, making it suitable for sensitive skin. It is also typically latex-free, paraben-free, and pediatrician-tested.
Ideal for Diverse Patient Populations: Recommended for neonates (newborns), geriatrics (elderly patients), oncology patients, and anyone experiencing macerated skin conditions due to incontinence or prolonged exposure to moisture.
Convenient Packaging: Comes in a 4 oz. bottle, making it easy to dispense and apply.
Uses:
Diaper Rash Treatment and Prevention: Its primary use is to create a barrier against moisture and irritants that cause diaper rash in infants, adults, and elderly patients.
Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis (IAD) Management: Essential for protecting the skin of individuals experiencing incontinence, preventing and treating skin breakdown caused by prolonged exposure to urine and/or stool.
Protection of Macerated Skin: Used on any skin that has become softened and vulnerable due to excessive moisture, such as in skin folds, under medical devices, or in wound perimeters.
General Skin Barrier: Provides a protective layer for skin exposed to potential irritants, helping to prevent chapping, cracking, and minor skin injuries.
Relief for Minor Skin Irritations: Can be applied to provide temporary relief for chapped skin, minor cuts, scrapes, and burns.
Part of a Comprehensive Skincare Regimen: Often integrated into broader skincare protocols in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and home care to maintain skin integrity and prevent complications.
