Protecting Hands in the Workplace

Consistent use of barrier cream can reduce the risk of dermatitis, dryness, and long-term skin damage caused by detergents, chemicals, and physical wear. It’s an essential addition to your workplace skincare system, especially in environments with frequent handwashing, abrasive materials, or exposure to contaminants.

These creams are formulated to either:

  • Shield the skin before work, creating a protective barrier against oils, solvents, and contaminants.
  • Help repair the skin after exposure, soothing dry, cracked, or irritated hands.

At Provac, we offer cost-effective bulk options and hygienic dispensing systems for easy integration into your health and safety routine. Pair with our Hand Soap or Hand Sanitizer ranges to support a complete skincare and hygiene solution.

FAQs

When should I apply barrier cream?

Most barrier creams are designed to be applied before exposure to protect the skin from irritants. However, some double up as after-work creams to assist with recovery. Always check the product description for usage instructions.

Are barrier creams suitable for food handling environments?

Yes, several of our barrier creams are food-safe and non-tainting, making them suitable for catering, hospitality, and food production settings. Look for certifications or contact us for advice.

Can barrier cream be used under gloves?

Absolutely. Barrier cream helps reduce sweat build-up and irritation when worn under gloves. Many formulas are designed for compatibility with latex, nitrile, or vinyl gloves.
