skin protectant
Protective topical layer
A skin protectant is a substance that shields the skin from irritation, moisture, or friction.
Common examples include petroleum jelly, zinc oxide, and dimethicone.
These products create a barrier on the skin's surface, used to prevent diaper rash, chapped lips, or irritation from bodily fluids: Apply a skin protectant before bed to heal cracked heels.
