Key Features:

Texture: Thick, rich cream suitable for very dry skin.
Fragrance-Free: Often recommended for sensitive skin.
Uses:
Treats dry skin (xerosis) and conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and ichthyosis.
Helps with cracked heels, elbows, and knees.
Can be used as a general moisturizer to prevent skin dryness.
How to Apply:
Apply a thin layer to affected areas 2–3 times daily.
Best used after a shower or bath when the skin is still damp for better absorption.
For cracked heels, apply at night and wear socks for deeper hydration.

Mild stinging or irritation (especially if applied to broken skin).
Allergic reactions (uncommon but possible).

Avoid contact with eyes.
Not recommended for open wounds or infected skin unless advised by a doctor.
