Pedicare Plus.

Pedicare Heel Moisturiser.

The most important ingredient of a heel moisturiser is Urea.  The ideal product will have 25 % to 30 % urea in an aqueous base. We recommend using Pedicare Plus.  This product is made by an Australian Podiatrist and at $12 / 100g, is significantly less expensive that pharmacy brands that it out performs.

Some of the most popular products on the market are high in Urea but use a ‘waxy’ base to deliver it.  This has a few downsides because the ointment does not rub in well at all.  This leads to:

 

Heel Cracks

• using the product once then putting it in the cupboard
• needing to wear socks to bed
• staining the carpets
• creating a slip hazard
• not working effectively.  If the product is on your skin, it’s not in your skin.
