What is the role of the three botanical actives in this formula, and how do they work together?

This gel-balsam utilizes a specific combination of three botanical actives, each selected for its distinct benefit to stressed, dry foot skin. Tea tree oil is included for its fresh, purifying character, helping to keep the surface of the skin in good condition. Sage extract is valued for its ability to tone and condition skin that has become stressed from friction or environmental exposure.

Milk thistle oil serves as the primary emollient, adding lipids that help replenish moisture and soften rough areas. Additionally, its naturally occurring silymarin compounds provide soothing and protective properties. Together, these ingredients balance freshness with softness, aiming to reduce the feeling of tight, dry skin and make rough heel areas more supple over time. This approach is designed for people who spend long hours standing or walking, or who notice seasonal roughness and flaking. It is not a substitute for medical treatment and should be used only on external skin.
