My cracked heel cream uses a beeswax base with coconut oil and olive oil. This is not only for heels and this cream is intended to be used on any cracked skin. It promotes healing of the wounded skin below the cracks and softens the dead dry skin that is cracking. This prevents the skin from cracking any further and damaging the living tissue underneath. Pain and inflammation caused by the cracked heels is also eased with the blend of essential oils. The essential oils that make this cream so amazing are German Chamomile, Geranium, Myrrh, Lavender, Lemon.
