wearing barrier cream next to latex is a absolute no no and it is recommended that you not wear any glove within at least 10 minutes of applying hand cream of any descrption. However, if they are using something like skintect which bonds with skin to provide the barrier, there may be an excepetion on this but I am not sure - you would need product info.

They wear 3 pairs of gloves (PPE) when undertaking post mortems. They use Baby Powder to dry their hands before wearing the gloves and one member of staff said in her previous NHS workplace they used a barrier cream. If the latex gloves are next to the skin or they use barrier cream I would not think this is good practice. I would appreciate your comments.
