Product summary

"Herbacin Foot Care - Foot Cream" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Herbacin Foot Care - Foot Cream ticks this box. Humectants in this product (panthenol, urea, carnosine, glycerin and caprylyl glycol) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (persea gratissima oil, cetearyl alcohol, ethylhexyl palmitate, caprylyl glycol and dicaprylyl ether) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

Ingredient callouts

  • This formulation also includes panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 0.60% - 0.85% concentration. In this concentration, panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
