The cream's formula is aimed at areas where the skin quickly loses moisture, becomes rough or gets irritated by external factors. The most typical uses are:
- Heels and elbows. The skin here is thicker and dries out faster — the dense base of petroleum jelly, paraffin and beeswax creates a protective barrier and helps soften rough areas with regular use.
- Lips. Cracked or dry lips are one of the classic uses for creams like this. Lanolin and coconut oil soften them, and the slight cooling effect of menthol gives a feeling of comfort.
- Hands after cleaning or contact with water and household chemicals. Frequent hand washing and working with detergents disrupt the skin's lipid barrier. The cream helps restore a feeling of softness and reduce flaking.
- Areas irritated by wind, cold or sun. The zinc oxide in the formula additionally soothes reddened and sensitive areas.
- Insect bites or areas of mild irritation. The cooling effect of menthol and camphor can bring a brief feeling of relief to irritated areas.
However, the cream is not intended for application to open wounds, badly damaged skin or mucous membranes. If the irritation does not go away or gets worse, you should see a specialist.
