Recieved a sample of this and at this time of the year I relish any foot cream that comes my way!!
So yes this is good, lovely and thick and no scent.
I only noticed after I had used the stuff and was reading the sachet is that it contains 10% Urea, now is it just me or does anyone else find this fact a bit :-&
Where does the Urea come from????
Who's p*** am I slathering all over my feet!! 
What is even more disconterting is Eucerin also do face creams and hand creams containing Urea... :-& |

 They do use synthetic urea in moisturisers. I think it might be quite common - or at least I have seen it on quite a few ingredient lists particularly for body moisturisers.
Have a look at: http://www.dermaltherapy.com/urea-natural-moisturizer.htm

| The body uses manufactured urea in the same way as the urea naturally found in the skin. Scientists call it a true “humectant” because it is an important component of the body’s Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF). Urea causes hard dry skin cells to "unpack" and expose their water binding sites, thus enabling the cell to absorb and retain additional moisture. This action is also known as hydrotopic solubilization and several independent clinical investigations and studies prove that it works. |
