“Moisturizing Foot Cream”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
arginine, glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: arginine, beeswax.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: petrolatum, urea
Exfoliation1 ingredient credited for this claimLimited evidence
“Nard Moisturizing Foot Cream delivers deep hydration to the skin and helps remove dead skin cells of the foot.”
This product might help exfoliate the skin with urea, but This ingredient is not the most effective.
