Rx Urea Cream

by Collette

Hi!

I just went to a dermatologist today for horribly
dry feet! My hands look like crape paper.
They gave me a script for 40% urea cream...I googled Urea to see what it is and found your site. I just read the label and it has mineral oil in it as well...What are your thoughts on me using this?

Thank you for your time!!
Sincerely,
Collette

Hello Collette,

Many people experience dry feet and dry hand syndrome which represents dryness that especially affects the extremities. There are several things that I'm going to tell you about a prescription for 40% urea as given by your dermatologist.

First, any amount of urea over 20% will not provide you any more benefit and in fact, can even, irritate the skin. You may recall the saying, "Too much of a good thing", well it applies here. This is why our strongest product, our DOUBLE STRENGTH THERACREAM, contains the maximum amount of 20% urea for those areas of the body that have thicker skin or conditions that tend to be "resistant".

Secondly, most prescriptions are in a mineral oil or petroleum base. Mineral Oil is the by-product of making gasoline from petroleum and since we use so much gasoline, it makes mineral oil very accessible for companies, therefore it makes the perfect "cheap" (yet toxic!) filler. Further, the molecules are much too large to even penetrate the pores of the skin, so it sits on top of the skin with a greasy feeling and can actually make your problem even worse. It's comparable to placing saran wrap on the skin which would suffocate the activity of the skin cells!

Please let me know if you have any other questions Collette.

Warm Regards,
Nanette
