Product Description
Actives:
1.Glycolic acid (AHA) – is a keratolytic that gently exfoliate the excess dry dead skin cells thus, taking care of excess thickening, preventing callus and softening the skin.

6. Tocopheryl acetate is a form of vitamin E. It strengthens skin’s barrier, promotes healing and softens skin.
7. Light liquid paraffin – is an emollient, meaning it prevents water loss from outer layer of skin. It plays an important role in preventing dry skin conditions such as eczema, keratoses and pruritus.
8. Probiobalance – healthy microbiomes prevent over growth of harmful bacteria and fungus.
What does it do?
The skin on soles, palms, knees and elbows is different from our skin on other body parts.
Foot Care
The skin on soles of our feet is much thicker, has many sweat glands but has no hair or sebaceous glands (oil secreting glands). It is subjected to a lot of pressure and friction as we are on our feet, literally for most of our day. To withstand this pressure the skin on soles tends to thicken, however excessive thickening leads to hardening of skin, which later tends to crack due to lack of hydration.
Hence our feet need special care and a product that would not only hydrate but also take care of built up of hard skin or callus.
Hand Care
The skin on our palms, is similar to our soles – thick, has multiple sweat glands, but lacks hair and oil glands. It is not only subjected to pressure and friction but also bears the brunt of chemical irritants (frequent hand washing, detergents, Sanitizers etc). This causes skin to thicken and harden. It also causes irritation on skin leading to contact dermatitis.
To prevent this our hands, need a product that would exfoliate excess dry skin cells and hydrate and soften the skin.
Elbow and Knee
Skin on these joints bears a lot of friction due to movement as well as pressure (like resting elbows on table, kneeling down), hence tends to thicken and get dark and rough. Regular exfoliation and moisturizing help the skin to stay soft and supple.
