While a regular moisturizer hydrates, this foot cream is formulated specifically for very dry, rough heels prone to cracking. Its key components target the dual issues of a weakened skin barrier and thickened, dehydrated surface layers. Allantoin helps soften and encourage smoother-looking skin on coarse areas. Propolis extract contributes a protective and soothing role, which can be beneficial for stressed skin. Emollients like lanolin, sunflower oil, and mink oil create a richer, more occlusive base than many body lotions. This base helps reduce moisture loss and makes the skin more supple, improving its flexibility so it's less likely to feel stiff and develop new fissures. The combination aims to coat the area and hold water in the skin's upper layers, which is often needed for severe heel dryness.
