Spirularin Cracked Heel Cream 75ml

GOOD TO KNOW:

Due to the exfoliating properties of Urea, Spirularin Cracked Heel Cream should really only be used on thickened or calloused skin, i.e. the soles and heels. For dry, cracked or sensitive skin on the whole foot or legs (or anywhere else on the body) try Spirularin Skin Gel instead.

Made in Germany with 100% natural ingredients. No animal testing.

WHAT IT DOES

Spirularin® Cracked Heel Cream combines the intense moisturising and nourishing properties of urea, Snow Mushroom, Magnolia Bark Extract & organic coconut oil, with the antimicrobial protection of Spiralin® to protect cracked skin against infections.

Spiralin® is an active microalgae extract which protects human skin cells with its broad antimicrobial profile against harmful bacterial, fungal and viral infections. This natural microbial activity improves the natural skin barrier and thus largely prevents infection.

Furthermore, the cell-regenerative action of Spiralin® microalgae extract accelerates healing, while urea gently exfoliates dry, flaky and calloused skin.

High-quality nurturing ingredients and intensive moisturisers (urea & Snow Mushroom) stabilise an impaired skin barrier, which is particularly important for skin that is severely dry and cracked.

WHY IT WORKS

• Spiralin® Microalgae Extract: provides unique, active antimicrobial protection for the skin, thanks to clinically proven antimicrobial properties (including against virus, fungi &  bacteria) as well as having cell-regenerative properties to accelerate healing of cracked skin
• Urea: is hygroscopic, which means it is able to bind moisture on to the outermost layer of our skin. Perfect for dry skin, it has anti-itch and antimicrobial properties. It is also keratolytic, meaning it breaks down the connections between dead skin cells, naturally exfoliating thickened skin, and helping ingredients penetrate deeper
• Silver Ear/Snow Mushroom Extract: is intensely hydrating due to the ability to retain 500x its weight in water. While often compared with the outstanding moisture-binding properties of hyaluronic acid, the molecular structure of Snow Mushroom is smaller than that of hyaluronic acid, meaning it can penetrate deeper into the skin
• Magnolia Bark Extract: contains high amounts of organic compounds magnolol & honokiol, which are up to 1000 times more potent in antioxidants than vitamin E. Magnolia bark extract also has antioxidant & antibacterial properties, which helps to neutralise free radicals, moisturise & hydrate skin
• Organic Coconut Oil: moisturises skin & helps the skin retain moisture, as well as also having antimicrobial benefits

HOW TO APPLY

• Acute care: Massage a pea-sized drop of Spirularin Cracked Heel Cream into the clean skin of the heels twice daily (morning & night)
• Maintenance: Apply once daily to maintain smooth heels
• A special note for diabetics: Ensure that the cream is really only applied to thickened skin. Do not apply the cream and wear non-breathable (i.e. non-cotton) socks over top!
