Diabetic Foot Cream

Description:

Grahams Natural Diabetic Foot Cream has been scientifically formulated with Clinically proven ingredients, specifically to complement and nurture diabetic skin.

The design process has included specific considerations of diabetic skin including:

• Excluding humectant, sugars and polyols, that are already overly abundant and present.
• Excluding lubricant and structural lipids that are typically in excess.
• Includes lipids, emollients and potent antioxidants that are missing in diabetic skin.

Grahams Natural Diabetic Foot Cream is intended as a “daily use” cream so as to ensure care and maintenance of diabetic skin but to also ensure daily checking by diabetics of potential diabetic skin issues.

Key benefits:

• Humectants: draw water from formulation to increase skin hydration. Urea, Sodium PCA, Betaine, Hyaluronic acid and Lactic acid.
• Lubricating and Emollient oils and waxes: Help protect and support the structure and function of skin and help to stimulate normal skin metabolism. Balance of essential and non-essential fatty acids from a range of botanical sources. Including castor seed oil, Medium chain triglycerides, Isopropyl myristate, Linseed oil.
• Antioxidants: Diabetes affected skin has high levels of lipid peroxidation and decrease antioxidant status (dry skin). Pomegranate, Nettle leaf, Calendula and red clover are used as antioxidants. This provides both lipid and water-soluble antioxidant activity.
• Biostatic: helps in reduction of bacterial reproduction of diabetic affected skin. Coconut oil, Benzyl alcohol, Lactic acid, Nettle, Chamomile and Red Clover extracts.

Benefits

The cream is formulated to be easily applied, non-greasy and to provide penetrating moisture and a very soft, low friction powder-soft finish, that helps to prevent friction and physical stresses on the skin surface.
