Curious what other auto mechanics are using for barrier cream. Several years now I have been using "Selan+" which costs around $13 delivered for a 16 oz tub. Active ingredients are listed at 2% as zinc oxide and 2% dimethicone. It is truly a "cream" and not a greasy "ointment." Really works quite well for when I do not want to wear gloves. Works every bit as good as much more expensive brands. Makes washing off your hands of black oily grease from automitive projects easy. I always work it under the fingernails, first, then all over hands and then wipe off excess with a rag. Last weekend I replaced brake pads and rotors and bled the brakes at home, and the hands washed off clean with basic soap and water. Amazing stuff that barrier cream. Notice that the Selan+ is not marketed to gearheads. It mostly used by nursing homes, I think.
