Siliciderm

Siliciderm is a silicone-based barrier cream designed to protect the skin against water, sweat, urine, feces, and other external irritants. It creates a water-repellent, protective film over the skin, making it highly effective for preventing and soothing diaper rash, bedsores, chafing, and contact dermatitis.
