McKesson Ostomy Skin Barrier Powder, 1 oz
McKesson Ostomy Skin Barrier Powder — 1 oz Puff Bottle, Pectin-Based
Overview
McKesson Skin Barrier Powder helps a skin barrier stick where moisture would otherwise get in the way. A light dusting absorbs dampness from weepy or irritated skin around the stoma or under the pouch, leaving a drier surface so the wafer, ring, or tape can grab and hold.
The pectin-based formula forms a gentle protective layer that helps ease itching and irritation, and it’s the key step in the “crusting technique” used with a barrier film before applying the pouch. The 1 oz puff bottle makes light, even application simple.

Equipment Specialist Insight: Powder is the go-to when the skin around the stoma turns moist or weepy and a barrier won’t stay put — a light dusting absorbs the moisture so the wafer or ring can grab. The technique most ostomy nurses teach is “crusting”: dust on the powder, dab a barrier film over it, and repeat once or twice to build a dry, tacky surface. Use it sparingly — a little goes a long way, and too much can actually keep the barrier from sticking. The puff bottle makes that light touch easy.
