A '''shielding lotion''' is a complex mixture of chemical agents that bond with dead skin cells on the outer layer of the [[skin]] ([[epidermis]]) to form a protective external layer. Unlike standard [[moisturizer]]s, which work by hydrating the skin with [[oils]], [[humectants]], [[emollients]], [[lubricant]]s, etc., shielding lotions bond with the skin's outer layer to assist in natural oil and water retention.  There is also some evidence that suggests that shielding lotions are able to protect against skin irritants.<ref>{{cite web|last1=D|first1=Williams|title=Shielding Lotions - July/August 2005 - Volume 24 - Issue 4 - p 181–182|url=http://journals.lww.com/dccnjournal/Abstract/2005/07000/Shielding_Lotions.8.aspx|website=Dimensions of Critical Care Nursing|publisher=Dimensions of Critical Care Nursing|accessdate=29 September 2015}}</ref>
