NS8 ALL-IN-ONE Heel Balm

98.6% of the ingredients are naturally derived, organic or synthesised natural ingredients.

The scientific process whereby the carefully selected, natural ingredients, work together to enhance each other’s performance so that the outcome is far greater than each ingredient could deliver on its own. NS8 Heel Balm synergistically combines 22 natural active ingredients to create the best possible outcome for dry, rough and cracked heels and feet.

NS8 Heel Balm Complex is an all-in-one heel balm, that exfoliates, smooths, softens, hydrates and is fragrance free. It is a lotion that absorbs quickly and is different from thick ointment-like balms because it spreads easily and is economical to use. It feels good and it works! You will feel the difference in just 1 day. Many heel balms are very greasy and messy, they can make your feet slip on hard floors, slide in shoes and can even stain carpets and bedsheets. NS8 Heel Balm is different because it has a unique non-greasy formula that absorbs quickly and gives fast results. NS8 Heel Balm Complex gives you soft, smooth heels without the mess or fuss. Podiatrists and diabetes educators recommend NS8 Heel Balm because it has built-in exfoliators which means you do not have to use foot files or pumice stones to remove built-up or thickened skin.  This makes it particularly useful for people with diabetes. The AHAs will gently but effectively remove the dead skin, without the threat of taking off too much skin, which can lead to diabetic foot ulcers. NS8 also contains cooling, soothing and skin restoring ingredients that help repair damaged skin on feet and heels.

NS8 Heel Balm contains 15% Urea plus other coconut-based moisturisers. Urea is a humectant (it is able to absorb moisture from the environment and draw it to the skin). It is also an emollient (that softens and smooths the skin). NS8 does not rely solely on urea for its moisturising properties but is formulated with multiple moisturisers including urea, coconut triglycerides and allantoin. NS8 is synergistically formulated with a special blend of moisturisers which we think is a great combination, as it is fast absorbing, fast acting and has a better outcome. .

Urea is a natural by-product, produced in mammalian systems when proteins are broken down. It is excreted in the urine of mammals, but the urea used as an ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products is a synthesised, natural ingredient and not animal derived.

We cannot disclose exact percentages, as we need to protect our formulation however, we can say that NS8 Heel Balm contains sufficient Lactic and Malic acid, to have a keratolytic and exfoliating effect that helps break down the build-up of thickened and calloused skin on the heels.

NS8 may cause a temporary tingling feeling, but this should subside quickly. Due to the natural, ultra-low irritation formulation, there should be very little or no irritation, however if you experience irritation, discontinue treatment.

Phenoxyethanol is an ingredient used to ensure that there is a robust preservative system at work in our NS products. Phenoxyethanol ensures that no bacteria, fungus or mould gets into our products, which can in turn negatively affect your skin. It is critical that our products are 100% safe for you to use so an effective preservative system is essential, especially for NS products because they contain a high percentage of highly active ingredients. Phenoxyethanol is used at low levels in our products (it is only ever used at less than 1%). Some preservatives need to be used at higher levels, which can adversely affect the skin, while some natural preservative systems can be prohibitively expensive, which would make our products unaffordable. Plunkett’s uses Phenoxyethanol in NS products to achieve an effective and affordable preservative system, so that our products have a 3-year shelf life, and do not require refrigeration. NS products give you peace of mind because our products are safe to use on your skin.
