The skin on the feet is unique and different to the skin in other parts of human body therefore special care is required to pamper the feet. A ‘Foot Moisturizing Bar’ is a solid moisturizer, resembling a soap bar but is actually an ointment with moisturizing benefits. It acts by providing an occlusive layer thus retaining skin moisture. When applied to the skin surface, body warmth will slightly melt the bar. Thus providing an occlusion over the skin with proper spreading providing a protective barrier against cold climate and eventually prevents the drying out of feet. Being anhydrous, slightly greasy and occlusive imparts water proof application. The occlusive nature of the product is influential in reducing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). Foot moisturizing bars are unique, natural, safe and very effective for the treatment of dry, chapped feet and cracked heels. It contributes to the foot care range with added advantages than most marketed foot creams. These bars leave a smooth and feathery touch from the very first application.
