McKesson® Rinse-Free Perineal Wash is a one-step skin and perineal cleanser developed for incontinence care, long-term care, and hygiene maintenance when full bathing is not convenient. The wash comes in a 1-gallon jug (sometimes sold with a pump or spray bottle) and features a pH-balanced (6.0–7.0) formula that gently cleanses, moisturizes, and deodorizes skin.
The formula includes Aloe Vera and Vitamins A, C, and E, which help soothe and hydrate delicate or stressed skin while helping prevent dryness, flaking, or irritation often associated with frequent cleansing. Users simply pour or spray the wash onto the perineal area, gently cleanse, and pat dry — no water or rinsing needed. This rinse-free design makes it especially practical for bedside care, mobility-limited individuals, or situations where access to a shower or bath is difficult.
The “Fresh Scent” adds a mild, pleasant fragrance for added comfort without strong chemicals. According to McKesson, regular use can help reduce perineal dermatitis and maintain skin health over prolonged care periods.
In settings such as home care, nursing homes, hospitals, or for caregivers managing incontinence care, McKesson Rinse-Free Perineal Wash offers a reliable, gentle and efficient cleansing option — combining hygiene, skin care, and convenience in a single product.
