The Hard Skin Ointment, with carefully selected ingredients, has many positive effects.
The ointment prevents the formation of thickened and cracked skin, especially on the heels.
Petroleum jelly – used as an occlusive agent in cosmetics. Applied to the skin, it forms a semi-permeable film that prevents transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and increases skin hydration.
Lanolin – a source of the skin’s own lipids (cholesterol), it has an emollient action. It also has an occlusive action, forming a semi-permeable film on the skin that reduces water evaporation and increases skin hydration.
Lactic acid – as an α-hydroxy acid, exfoliates the skin – removing dead skin cells from the surface and leaving a smooth, soft surface underneath. Lactic acid is also a humectant, drawing moisture into the upper layers of the skin and keeping it hydrated.
Saicylic acid – is a β-hydroxy acid and penetrates the skin deeper than α-hydroxy acids due to its lipophilicity. At low pH or high enough concentration, it is keratolytic, loosening the contacts between corneocytes and accelerating the removal of dead cells on the epidermis.


Thickened skin on the heels (hyperkeratosis) can occur
for several reasons
- dehydration – lack of water can dry out the skin, resulting in a hard and thickened appearance.
- surface stress – constant friction, pressure and mechanical irritation of the skin can lead to hyperkeratosis. For example, blisters on the feet can be caused by friction from shoes.
- genetics – some people are genetically predisposed to harder skin on their heels.
- hormonal changes – can lead to increased keratin production.
- health problems – diseases such as diabetes and skin conditions can cause hard skin on the heels.
