AALST – Health and hygiene firm Ontex says it is placing greater emphasis on skin health in its latest personal hygiene developments after company research found that almost one in two people living with incontinence experience dermatitis or skin irritation.

The findings coincide with World Skin Health Day on 8 July and underline growing clinical and consumer attention to skin protection in both institutional and home care settings.
