Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can MoliCare Skin Wash Lotion be used without rinsing?

A: MoliCare Skin Wash Lotion can be used as a no-rinse bed bath lotion — apply to the skin, massage gently and pat dry without rinsing. It can also be used as a conventional shower wash and rinsed off with water. The dual-use format makes it highly versatile for different care settings.

Q: Is MoliCare Skin Wash Lotion suitable for the genital area?

A: Yes — MoliCare Skin Wash Lotion is designed for all-over body use including the perineal area. The gentle, skin-balanced formula is appropriate for sensitive genital skin in people with incontinence. It does not disrupt the natural skin pH when used as directed.

Q: How does MoliCare Skin Wash Lotion differ from regular soap?

A: Regular soap typically has a high pH (alkaline) which can disrupt the skin's natural acid mantle, reducing its protective barrier function. MoliCare Skin Wash Lotion is pH-balanced to match the skin, cleansing effectively without compromising the skin's natural protection — particularly important for fragile or incontinence-prone skin.

Q: Can MoliCare Skin Wash Lotion be used on pressure sore-prone areas?

A: Yes — the gentle, moisturising formula is suitable for use on skin at risk of or affected by pressure injuries. Regular gentle cleansing and moisturising with MoliCare Skin products is part of a comprehensive skin integrity programme for people at risk. Consult your wound care nurse for a complete skin care protocol.
