barrier that blocks calcium ions
I haven't come across this before. I think though, that you have to be careful about using scale to mean calcium deposits in this context, because people are more likely to understand scale as in scaly skin, which would be a very common symptom of atopic dermatitis. "Anti-calcium" doesn't sound right either, so there's my suggestion. As to this making sense: whether it's a good thing to block calcium ions or how the product does that, I'd love to know.

My pleasure. I think that Dr Jones might be on to something with the hard water protection, but I wouldn't want to stray that far from the original in my translation without more information from the client on what they are trying to convey.

prevents skin from irritation and dryness caused by hard water and limescale
I don't think you can avoid mentioning what hard water and limescale actually does to the skin i.e irritates and over dries.
Peer comment(s):

: provides a barrier against (the) irritation/dryness (that can be) caused by hard water (BTW, protects rather than prevents -?)

Yes, you're right. My first thought was "prevents skin from over -drying"...
