Summary
Flexitol Heel Balm is used to treat dry, cracked and callused heels. Apply twice daily or as needed to clean, dry skin, and gently massage in until fully absorbed.

How it Works (The Science)
Flexitol Heel Balm contains a unique blend of ingredients that work together to moisturize, soften and repair dry and cracked skin. The key ingredient in the balm is 25% urea, a naturally occurring substance found in the skin that helps to retain moisture. Urea is also a keratolytic, meaning it helps to break down and soften thickened and callused skin. The balm also contains Centipeda cunninghamii, an Australian herb with anti-inflammatory properties that helps to soothe and repair the skin.
How to Use
• Apply twice daily or as needed to clean, dry skin.
• Gently massage in until fully absorbed.
• For best results, use regularly to maintain soft and smooth skin.
• Do not apply to open wounds or broken skin.
Warnings (Important!)

• Keep out of reach of children.
• Avoid contact with eyes. In case of accidental contact, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Do not apply to open wounds or broken skin.
• If skin irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult your healthcare professional.
