McKesson Ostomy Barrier Powder, 1-ounce Puff Bottle

McKesson Ostomy Barrier Powder, 1-Ounce Puff Bottle

McKesson Ostomy Barrier Powder is a pectin-based stoma powder designed to absorb moisture and protect the delicate peristomal skin around your stoma. It's an essential accessory for anyone dealing with weepy, irritated, itchy, or broken skin beneath an ostomy pouch, and it helps create a dry, healthy surface so your skin barrier or wafer can adhere securely.

When sprinkled onto moist or damaged skin, the powder absorbs excess wetness and forms a gentle protective layer that soothes irritation and reduces discomfort. It's a key part of the popular crusting technique: apply a light dusting of powder, brush away the excess, then seal it with a skin barrier film, repeating as needed to build a protective "crust" over raw areas before applying your pouch. This helps secure tape and adhesives and extends comfortable, leak-free wear time.

The convenient puff bottle makes it easy to apply just the right amount without waste, and this powder works with virtually any brand of one-piece or two-piece ostomy system. It is not made with natural rubber latex and is FSA/HSA eligible. Available as a single bottle or a Case of 50 - simply select your preferred option below.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is stoma barrier powder used for?
A: It absorbs moisture from weepy, irritated, or broken peristomal skin and forms a protective pectin-based layer, helping soothe irritation and giving your skin barrier a dry surface to stick to.

Q: How do I use the crusting technique?
A: Lightly dust the powder onto clean, moist skin, brush away the excess, then dab a skin barrier film over it. Repeat one or two more times to build a durable protective "crust" before applying your pouch.

Q: Will the powder affect how well my pouch sticks?
A: Used correctly - a light dusting with the excess brushed off - the powder actually helps adhesives and tape adhere better by keeping the skin dry. Too much powder, however, can interfere with adhesion.

Q: Is this powder compatible with my ostomy system?
A: Yes. McKesson Ostomy Barrier Powder works with one-piece and two-piece systems from any brand, since it's applied directly to the skin before your barrier or wafer.

Q: Is it latex-free and FSA/HSA eligible?
A: Yes. The powder is not made with natural rubber latex and qualifies as an FSA/HSA-eligible ostomy supply.
