Nu-Hope Karaya Gum Powder — Ostomy Skin Protection Powder

Moisture-absorbing ostomy skin protectant designed to help manage peristomal irritation. Nu-Hope Karaya Gum Powder is a water-soluble hydrocolloid powder used around the stoma to help protect moist, weeping, or irritated skin. It forms a light protective barrier that helps absorb excess moisture and supports healthier peristomal skin conditions before wafer or pouch application.
