A multilayer film for an ostomy pouch includes a barrier layer that is substantially impermeable to malodor causing compounds and arranged between outer layers. Each of the outer layers is formed from a polymeric mixture comprising about 90 wt. % to about 99 wt. % of a polar polymer and about 1 wt. % to about 10 wt. % of a slip agent and/or an anti-block agent, wherein the polymeric mixture is free of a non-polar polymer.
