Concentrated 40% Urea Cream for Severely Dry Hands, Cracked Feet and Calluses

This high-strength urea cream is formulated specifically for areas prone to extreme dryness and thickening, such as the heels, soles of the feet, and overworked hands. With a 40% urea concentration at its core, it works to soften and hydrate the toughest skin, while additional ingredients like salicylic acid, coconut oil and glycerin provide exfoliating and moisturising support. The 50g jar offers a practical quantity for targeted, ongoing care of these problematic zones.

Features and Construction

This cream’s formulation is built around active and moisturising ingredients designed to improve the condition of rough, cracked skin.

Material and Build

The primary active ingredient is urea at a 40% concentration, a keratolytic agent known for its ability to bind water and soften hardened skin layers. This is combined with salicylic acid, another keratolytic that aids in gentle exfoliation. The base includes humectants and emollients like glycerin, mineral oil, and coconut oil to lock in moisture, while glyceryl stearate and carbomer (stabilised with triethanolamine) help create the cream’s texture. Added tocopherol (vitamin E), aloe leaf extract, and tea leaf oil contribute additional components to the blend.

Size and Practical Fit

The product is contained in a single 50g jar. This size is suitable for regular, focused application on specific areas like heels, calluses, or dry hands, rather than full-body use. The jar format allows for easy scooping of the cream and controlled application directly to problem zones.

Uses and Placement

This cream is intended for targeted skincare on areas that develop thick, dry, or cracked skin due to environmental factors, friction, or lack of moisture.

Event or Professional Use

For individuals whose jobs or hobbies lead to significant hand dryness or foot calluses—such as those involving manual labour, prolonged standing, or frequent handwashing—this cream can be used as part of a routine maintenance regimen. The 40% urea strength is suited for addressing established roughness, not minor dryness.

Everyday Home Use

At home, it serves as a treatment product for common concerns like cracked heels, rough elbows, or thickened skin on the balls of the feet. It is applied to clean, dry skin on the affected areas, with frequency guided by personal tolerance and the severity of the condition, following an initial patch test.

Benefits and Buying Value

The value of this cream lies in its focused formulation for a specific skin concern, offering an alternative to general-purpose moisturisers.

Reuse and Low Maintenance

Why Choose This ProductThis product is chosen for its high urea concentration, which is specifically indicated for severe dryness and hyperkeratosis. The inclusion of salicylic acid offers a combined exfoliating action, while ingredients like coconut oil and glycerin aim to counter the potential drying effect of actives. It represents a functional, ingredient-focused option for those seeking a potent solution for localised rough skin.
