Is this cream-balm suitable for use on hands or other areas beyond the feet?

The product is formulated specifically for the thickened, rough skin typical of heels and the sides of feet, which are often subject to pressure, friction, and dryness from activities like prolonged standing or wearing open shoes. Its texture and ingredients are designed to form a light protective layer and soften such hardened patches.

If you experience similar rough, dry skin on areas like elbows or knees, you could try applying a small amount to see if it helps. However, for more delicate or different skin types (such as facial skin or areas prone to irritation), the formulation might be too rich or occlusive. As a general rule, applying a product outside its intended target area should be done cautiously, starting with a patch test on a small section of skin to check for any adverse reactions.

If the skin you wish to treat is deeply cracked, inflamed, or shows signs of infection, it's essential to consult a pharmacist or doctor rather than relying on cosmetic care.
