How to Use
- For Body or Perineal Cleansing: Dispense the desired amount of foam directly onto the soiled area or onto a clean washcloth. Gently wipe the area clean. Because the formula is rinse-free, there is no need to use water. If the skin is prone to IAD (Incontinence Associated Dermatitis), follow up with a barrier cream as directed.
- For Hair Cleansing: Apply the foam generously to the hair and scalp. Massage gently to work the cleanser through the hair to lift dirt and oils. Use a clean, dry towel to wipe away the foam and residual grime. No water rinsing is required. Towel dry hair thoroughly.

Clinical FAQs
Why is salicylic acid included in a body cleanser?
Salicylic acid is a highly effective keratolytic agent. In clinical skin care, it is used to gently exfoliate dead skin cells from the surface. For patients with limited mobility, diabetes, or aging skin, the accumulation of dead skin cells can lead to rough, dry, or cracked areas that are susceptible to breakdown. By including salicylic acid, Thera Foaming Cleanser helps maintain smooth skin and supports the natural skin barrier, making it more resilient to the stresses of incontinence and prolonged bed rest.
Can this product be used on hair as well as the body?
Yes. The Thera Foaming Cleanser is a true head-to-toe product. Because it is a pH-balanced, rinse-free formula, it is gentle enough for the scalp and hair. It is particularly useful for bedbound patients who cannot easily access a hair-washing station or shower. It effectively removes oils and scalp buildup without leaving a sticky residue, ensuring patient comfort during extended care.
How does this compare to soap-and-water cleansing for incontinence care?
Soap-and-water cleansing can be harsh on the skin, stripping away natural oils and potentially leaving behind soap residue that irritates the perineal area. Traditional soap-and-water protocols also require frequent changing of basins, which increases the risk of cross-contamination and environmental spills. Thera Foaming Cleanser eliminates the water basin entirely. Its formula is designed to lift soils and barrier pastes quickly, reducing the amount of friction (wiping) required during cleanup. Less friction and no soap residue mean a significantly lower risk of skin irritation and IAD.
