Description
Shea butter: One of my all-time favorite skincare ingredients! This butter is obtained from the karite tree, and it’s also a great source of antioxidants and skin-nourishing fatty acids (stearic and linoleic). It also penetrates skin readily. This is just such a wonderful ingredient for skincare.
Centella asiatica extract: Centella asiatica extract has been shown to speed up wound healing by stimulating collagen synthesis. It is also an anti-inflammatory and increases the tensile strength of skin.
Panthenol: This ingredient is able to penetrate skin fairly well and has softening and moisturizing properties. It also helps to soothe and protect irritated skin.
Aloe vera: Aloe vera has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, hydrating, and antioxidant activity with regards to skin. In this formula, it is present as both a moisturizing agent and an anti-inflammatory active.
Dragon’s Blood Resin:
Cetearyl alcohol (and) Ceteareth-20: In this formula, cetearyl alcohol (and) ceteareth-20 function as the co-emulsifier in the formula. Glyceryl stearate (see above) is acting as the primarily emulsifier. The two emulsifiers work together to keep the water-soluble ingredients homogenously mixed in the oil-based solution.
Tocopherol: Tocopherol is Vitamin E, and acts as a preservative in this formula, preventing the oxidation of the oils in the product and increasing the shelf life.
Phenoxyethanol: This ingredient is a preservative, and is responsible for preventing the growth of bacteria, mold, fungus, yeast, etc.

10 stars! This stuff is insane. I get super dry hands in the winter, and super rough and cracked heels year round. I use this with cotton gloves/socks overnight and it helps a ton. It will usually heal a painful crack on my thumb overnight. This is magic!

So many stars! A couple of years ago, I had ankle surgery with a cast on for 6 weeks. When I got the cast off, my foot was G-R-O-S-S. Two nights of Fissure King, and it was back to baby smooth. I love this product!!
