🕰️ Brief History:

Foot-care products have been used for centuries to help protect and soften dry, thickened skin on the feet. Traditionally, natural oils, animal fats, beeswax, and herbal preparations were applied to cracked heels and rough skin to improve comfort and prevent further drying.

During the 20th century, advances in skincare led to the development of specialized foot creams and balms containing ingredients such as:

• 💧 Glycerine for moisture retention
• 🦶 Urea for softening hard skin
• 🌿 Lanolin and plant oils for nourishment
• 🛡️ Emollients to help strengthen the skin barrier

As awareness of foot health increased, dedicated foot and heel products became popular for treating dry, cracked heels, calluses, and rough skin caused by walking, standing, sports, and environmental exposure.

Alcare developed Alcare Foot & Heel Balm 125ml Jar as part of its skincare range to provide intensive hydration and care for dry, rough, and cracked feet.
